Tue Mar 25 23:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Guatemala’s National Team Seeks Redemption Against Barbados in Crucial Copa Oro Qualifier
**Guatemala City, Guatemala** – Guatemala’s national football team faces a must-win match against Barbados this Tuesday at the Estadio Cementos Progreso, aiming to overturn a 3-2 away loss and secure a place in the 2025 Gold Cup group stage. The match, airing exclusively on ESPN and Disney+, kicks off at 6:30 PM local time.
Following their defeat in Barbados four days prior, the Bicolor, coached by Luis Fernando Tena, needs only a one-goal victory to advance due to the away goals rule. A larger margin of victory would provide greater peace of mind.
Midfielder Erick “El Kuki” Lemus expressed confidence in the team’s ability to turn the tide on home soil. “We didn’t get the best result away, but it will be different at home,” he stated. “We’re committed to getting the result. We have to focus on playing our football and we’ll fight until the end because we’re a good team.”
Lemus also highlighted the team’s readiness to adapt their strategy under coach Tena’s guidance. He urged fans to attend the match, stating, “The fans should come to the stadium to support us. God willing, it will be a beautiful night.”
Tickets are available at the following prices: General Q 150.00, Preferencia Q250.00, Tribuna Q450.00, and Palco Q1,000.00. The team will hold its final training session at the Centro de Alto Rendimiento before the crucial match.
