“We have decided to declare the 2022-2023 National Championship of El Salvador finished”, the Salvadoran Football Federation (Fesfut) and the clubs said in a statement on Wednesday, four days after the stampede that claimed the lives of 12 people in the Cuscatlán stadium in San Salvador, at the start of a first division match between local team Alianza and CD FAS.
“This measure was taken in view of the seriousness of the facts and the need to guarantee the safety conditions of the sports facilities”, added Fesfut, which also specified that it “there will be no tournament champion”. As a result, the Federation will propose that the 2022 champion and vice-champion, namely FAS and Jocoro, as well as the Aguila club, the highest ranked in the 2023 Championship, represent El Salvador at the next Concacaf tournament. .
