The National Team will play its last two home games at the Azteca Stadium, thus considering settled the possibility of going to another city in the Mexican Republic, while the FMF is still waiting for the resolution of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAS) on the sanction FIFA pending two games behind closed doors.

CONCACAF announced this Friday the calendar of the last FIFA date qualifying for the Qatar World Cup for the selections of this region, which will be disputed at the end of March.

On Thursday, March 24, El Tri will host the United States at the Azteca at 8:00 p.m. local time (10:00 p.m. Eastern time), while on Wednesday, March 30, Mexico will play El Salvador at 7:05 p.m. local time ( 9:05 p.m. Eastern), also at the Colossus of Santa Ursula.

The Mexican Soccer Federation (FMF) still awaiting the unappealable sentence of the TAS for the appeal filed against the Disciplinary Committee and the FIFA Appeal Committee for the sanction of two games behind closed doors at home, derived from the persistence of a part of the fans in the discriminatory shout at the rival goalkeeper’s kick.

Between those two games against United States and El Salvador, the team led by Gerardo Martino will visit on Sunday 27th Hondurasin a game that will be played at 5:05 p.m. local time (7:05 p.m. Eastern time) at the Olympic Stadium in San Pedro Sula.

These will be the last three commitments of the CONCACAF Octagonal Final with a view to the next worldin which three teams from this region qualify directly and fourth place will go to the Intercontinental Repechage against the champion of Oceania (OFC).

The TAS granted on January 17 precautionary measures in favor of the FMF to annul the sanction of FIFAbut not for a final resolution on the case TASbut by a temporary suspension of the punishment, with which the Tri was able to count on an audience in the stands in his two most recent games in the Estadio Azteca in the World Cup Qualifiers, against Costa Rica and Panama.

However, both encounters served the FMF to implement a mandatory fan registration program for matchups on the Tri as a local, which is why only about two thousand people entered each of those games.

If he TAS issues a resolution in favor of the FIFA, Mexico will have to play next March against United States and El Salvador behind closed doors; Otherwise, you can count on an audience in the stands of the Aztec.
