The Cuban national soccer team ran out of options to play two international friendly matches against Nicaragua in the month of October (5 and 11), as part of the FIFA days, a situation that leads to the squad of the Greater Antilles to have fewer opportunities to build a solid squad for the Concacaf League of Nations 2022-2023.
