Central American football competitions

Overview

Central American football competitions progressed through various regional tournaments in mid-2026.

In the Apertura 2026 tournaments, clubs in El Salvador and Guatemala competed in their second rounds. Notable results in El Salvador included Cacahuatique defeating Atlético Balboa 4–2 and Isidro Metapán winning the Santaneco derby against FAS 2–0. In Guatemala, teams such as Municipal, Guastatoya, and San Pedro sought to maintain form during the early stages of the Liga Nacional.

In the Copa Centroamericana 2026, Plaza Amador secured a 5–2 victory against Guatemala’s Xelajú MC during the third matchday of Group A. Despite an early lead by Xelajú MC, Plaza Amador responded with multiple goals to take control of the match. The loss leaves Xelajú MC in a precarious position regarding tournament elimination.
