Alianza FC welcomes Antigua GFC in Central American Cup

Old rivals meet again after playing to a scoreless draw in last year's Group Stage.

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador – The 2026 Concacaf Central American Cup continues with Alianza FC hosting Antigua GFC in Group B on Wednesday at Estadio Cuscatlán in San Salvador, El Salvador.
