Sporting Kansas City midfielder Roger Espinoza has been selected to the Honduras Men’s National Team for two upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Espinoza joins a 26-player squad as Honduras opens the Hexagonal with home games against Panama on Nov. 11 (2:35 p.m. CT) and Trinidad and Tobago on Nov. 15 (4:05 p.m. CT). Both matches will kick off at Estadio Olimpico in San Pedro Sula.
Led by head coach Jose Luis Pinto, Honduras is trying to make its third consecutive World Cup appearance. Los Catrachos are one of six CONCACAF nations competing for three automatic berths to the 2018 FIFAF World Cup in Russia, with the Hexagonal unfolding in a home-and-away, double round-robin format from November 2016 through October 2017.
