The Guatemalan national team had a remarkable performance at the World Cup before reaching the semi-finals of the tournament after leaving national teams such as Canada and Mexico on the way.
known to all, What those under the leadership of Mexican coach Rafael Loredo did was enough to secure one of the 24 places for the FIFA U-20 World Cup to be held in Indonesia in 2023..
However, theFor CONCACAF World Cup held in Honduras not only gave seats to the U-20 World Cup, but also As a qualifier for the following Olympic Games:
- Central American and Caribbean Games in San Salvador 2023
- Santiago Pan American Games 2023
- 2024 Paris Olympics
The Guatemalan national team earned two of these four tickets and here we explain why:
World Cup Indonesia 2023
Being one of the four teams that qualified for the semi-finals, along with the Dominican Republic, the United States and Honduras, Guatemala won the right to participate in the second World Cup in its history. The World Cup will take place from May 20 to June 11, 2023.

Central American and Caribbean Games in San Salvador 2023
Guatemala qualified for next year’s event in neighboring El Salvador by ranking among the top five in the region, just below the Dominican Republic and Honduras, the other two being Mexico and Costa Rica. The games will take place from June 20 to July 8, 2023.
Santiago Pan American Games 2023
The Guatemalan national team failed to qualify for the Pan-American Games, as the rating criteria were best in Central America, best in the Caribbean and best in North America, as well as champion.
So the Pan American Games tickets were as follows:
- United States (best of North America)
- Honduras (Best of Central America)*
- Dominican Republic (best in the Caribbean)
- Last place: If the United States were champions, Mexico would qualify, and if the Dominican Republic would win, Jamaica would go.
Why is Honduras going and not Guatemala? Because of the difference in points achieved, Honduras had 15 points throughout the tournament and 9 Guatemala 9, so the ticket goes to Honduras.
The United States reached the final and will fight for the CONCACAF title against the Dominican Republic. # sub 20 #Premonade U20 https://t.co/Lr0WZfyuYB
