Just over a month every U23 Pre-Olympicthe Honduras national team begins to draw up the list and coach Fabián Coito has confirmed that the legionaries, Denil Maldondo from Everton in Chile and Rigoberto Rivas from the Reggina of Italy, will participate in the competition.
The final list of players who will attend the match in Guadalajara, Mexico will be announced on March 8, including Maldonado who has not taken part in Chilean football. While Rivas, he’s done it as an attacker.

The national team will travel to Mexico on March 16 to face alliances against Haiti, El Salvador and Canada for Group C. If they do qualify, they’ll play against the first or second on the other side where the heavyweights are, Mexico and the United States.
Maldonado will join the Bicolor in the final micro cycle that will be in Siguatepeque and travel with the group to Mexico. In the case of Rivas, arrangements are being made to arrive earlier, but as the league is ahead of the March FIFA dates, it would already be competing in the pre-Olympic one underway and not the game against Haiti.
