Everything is ready in the Dominican Republic for the start of the CONCACAF Women’s Pre-World Cup in its U-20 category. And it is that the tournament will start this February 25 and will culminate with the final on March 12, 2022 with the defined World Cup teams.
This is where the Women’s Tri enters, now under the command of the historic Maribel Domínguez after Mónica Vergara took the reins of the Senior National Team. The Mexicans, with a new generation of soccer players, will look for their ticket to Costa Rica starting the journey in the group stage.
Their first match of the tournament will be on February 26 when the Women’s Tri will face Panama at the Félix Sánchez Olympic Stadium; which will host all the Tri matches in the group stage, at 5 in the afternoon.
Subsequently, the Mexicans will meet on February 28 against Guyana and will culminate their group phase against Honduras on March 2 in search of the group leadership.
Thus, the Women’s Tri will seek to sneak into the final, since they must first overcome the round of 16, the quarterfinals and the semifinal if they wish to have that ticket that will take them to Costa Rica. However, like every edition of the tournament organized by CONCACAF, there will be the United States and Canada, who are, without a doubt, the teams to beat in every possible category or scenario, so a confrontation with these teams will be very likely if Mexico advances to the last instances of the tournament.
First great trial by fire for Maribel Domínguez at the helm of this team that in previous processes has been able to boast successes in these tournaments, because with Vergara they had qualified for the World Cup that had to be suspended for health reasons and previously, with Christopher Cuéllar they even won the championship by to beat the United States on penalties, for which Domínguez has a great responsibility with this team that, if they do not get a pass to the World Cup, would be considered the first failure in Maribel’s era at the helm of the U-20.
