National team

Шаблон:Main Шаблон:See also

El Salvador qualified for the FIFA World Cup twice, in 1970 and 1982. On both occasions the team was eliminated in the first round after losing all three matches.

A qualifying match against Honduras for the 1970 tournament was so hotly contested that it was the spark that brought a state of war between El Salvador and Honduras. The conflict became known as the Football War.[1][2][3][4]

The 1982 tournament included a 10-1 mauling from Hungary that provided the most goals in a game in the history of the finals as well as equalling the record for winning margin.

Outside of the World Cup, El Salvador competes regularly at the CONCACAF Gold Cup and the CONCACAF Nations League. Its sole international triumph came in a regional competition, the 1943 CCCF Championship.[5]
