Styven Vásquez’s surprise exclusion from the El Salvador national team has sparked debate just as La Selecta prepares for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and the Gold Cup. Coach Hernán Darío Gómez made the tough call, citing non-sporting reasons, and key players have now broken their silence in support of the decision, Fútbol Centromérica reports.
Captain David Cerén defended Gómez’s stance, acknowledging Vásquez’s ability but noting, “Maybe it wasn’t wise to play elsewhere while the national team was in camp. It’s up to the coach and FESFUT.” Defender Bryan Tamacas echoed the sentiment: “If we’re here, it’s because we’ve earned it. Our job is to give everything and stay focused.”
Since taking over, Gómez has emphasized discipline and commitment, and the move sends a message ahead of crucial international fixtures. As El Salvador prepares to face a World Cup-winning side in an upcoming friendly, internal unity could prove decisive in the team’s competitive ambitions.
