Panama will host the next Central American Cup

         The next Central American Cup will be held in Panama --Surprise - Surprise Surprise!

As you can see it is Guatemala's turn to host. Guatemala has not hosted since 2005 and Panama recently hosted in 2011. 

Year	Host	Champion
2003	Panama	Costa Rica
2005	Guatemala	Costa Rica
2007	El Salvador	Costa Rica
2009	Honduras	Panama
2011	Panama	Honduras
2013	Costa Rica	Costa Rica
2014	United States	Costa Rica
2017	Panama

              It seems that Panama's economy, influence and bid "package" was able to influence the bid committee.

          Neither Nicaragua nor Belize has ever host this regional tournament. If I was going to guess I thought it would be either Nicaragua or Belize. Then I would have had odds that Guatemala, El Salvador then Honduras would be next in line to host in that order. So what happened to "who's turn is it?"
   

        

Rommell Stadium  has had major renovations for the 2011 tournament. The Stadium now has a nice looking roof for many fans. The last Central American Cup Rommell hosted all the games. I don't see any change here.

The tournament will be 17–28 January 2017.
