Hosts Guatemala secured its place in the final of the IBSA Blind Football Central American Championships yesterday and will face the reigning champions Costa Rica in the final of the tournament tomorrow (Saturday 9th November) at 14:00 local time.

A 0-0 draw against El Salvador was enough to see the host team move to four points and book its spot in the final. El Salvador had opportunities to score and qualify until the very end of the match, but the local team held on for the draw.
