"This friendly games here gives us the possibility that the team can go about getting ahead of the Central American Games," said Gonzalez Triana. 

From El Salvador Cubans will travel to Honduras, where they also have two very important challenges and then return to Havana and play two or three more games. Later, in early November they leave to Mexico to give the final touch to the preparation and optimally get to Central.
