An early return is auspicious: Henriks and Perez were hired to manage the youth team and take charge of the senior team in April after the worrying results of the previous World Cup qualifying round led to a change of coaches. Building on a base of young players and recruits, El Salvador reached the knockout stages of this summer's main regional tournament Gold Cup, even briefly spooking Mexico before being knocked out in the quarterfinals.
Salvadoran football originated in a stadium called "Campo Marte" in the city of Santa Ana. The first recorded match was between the players of Santa Ana and San Salvador on July 16, 1899. Both teams have several foreign players from England who have been credited with bringing football to El Salvador. The home team won 2-0.
