From Honduras they will not allow entry to the Municipal bars either
In addition to the suspension of Concacaf, from Honduras at the Olimpia stadium will not be allowed to enter the bar of the Guatemalan team , which is why the Municipal will compete without support in the stands.
The violence in Doroteo Flores began before the match with the provocations of the local bar of the Municipal to the visitors. They spread after the game when the locals continued to create chaos around the stadium.
Actions of the Government of Guatemala
Not only Concacaf took action on the matter, a statement by the Guatemalan authorities on this issue .
It should be noted that the Disciplinary Committee has imposed an undisclosed fine on the Guatemalan club, as part of the punishment for violent actions on the Municipal campus .
