    pardon my ignorance dipping a trepid toe into the political...with El Salvador's governmental decision to not host fans and looking at COVID numbers for Honduras vs El Salvador...is there a chance that the Honduras government does the same?

    My 2nd hand info, from my cousin who works at the Fedefuth (Honduras soccer fed). Saying they are still planning on hosting in San Pedro but will probably require only vaccinated attendees. Sounds similar to that article today re: El Salvador.

    Got this from the press secretary of Fenafuth today:

    "This week we will have information about the public in the stadiums ... There is no confirmation yet"

    Fed confirmed that both El Salvador and Honduras will allow vaccinated fans into the stadium. Fed will have ticket info in the next week or so.

    Not great news.. but shows they will have people in the stadium. 20% capacity is around 10,000 tickets I think.

    Though heard comments that this was maybe referring to the upcoming Honduras league games. Either way, nothing super official yet. USSF will contractually have their allotment and an announcement in the upcoming weeks.

    I'm not deterred either way. I missed 2017 Honduras away and vowed to never miss again.

    So USSF might not have tickets or maybe very few tickets for US fans going to this game. This sucks.

    i applaud and support their caution in trying to limit capacity but personally if its 20% then im going to skip.

    the fun of the away qualifiers for me is the atmosphere, intimidation and interacting with the home supporters. at 20% it just changes the dynamic for me.

    hopefully we return to honduras in 2029 qualifiers!

    I agree with you thethinwhiteduke. I'm going to skip the two upcoming away games next month and hopefully do Panama in October.

    Covid stuff:
    - entering Honduras requires vaccine documentation or negative covid test.
    - coming back into the US requires negative covid test within 3 days, regardless of vax status.

    (after tons of research i'm confident in this, but i'm not the super official word on it.)

    And note: the 3 days is not 72 hours, rather 3 full calendar days. So I'll get my covid test results the day I leave and it'll still be valid upon returning.

    Heard FENAFUTH announced ticket info locally. About 30% capacity but may push to 40%. (~38,000 capacity)

    Prices for Silla section (mid tier) are 1750 Lempiras ($73). Not sure about Sol or Palco.

    And no clue when US Fed will announce their allotment.
