Antigua GFC is at the gates of making history again inside Guatemalan football.
The team led by coach Mauricio Tapia classified the Green Panza box to the grand final of the Closing Tournament 2025 And he has the team just 180 minutes from a new title.
The Argentine strategist took the reins of Antigua GFC at the beginning of the tournament, after passing through Marquense at the end of 2024, with two objectives: one was to take the Green Panza box to the final stages of the championship and the other, ensure the classification to an international competition.
A mission was already fulfilled: to have Antigua in the Grand Final, which will play against Municipal. The other depends fully on the result against the scarlet picture.
The Mission of Antigu The ticket to the next Central American Cup of Concacaf 2025.
On the part of Guatemala, there will be three teams that will participate in the next edition of the Club Tournament in the region. Two are already defined: Xelajú MC, who obtained his place as he was champion of the Opening 2024 tournament, and municipal, to win the accumulated table of the Clausura 2025.
That leaves a single ticket, which could remain in the hands of ancient GFC or Imperial Cobán.
Why do I imperial? This is because the whole of the blue princes was the second best team in the accumulated table, after municipal. So, if ancient does not achieve the championship, the ticket will be awarded the best located team behind the scarlet.
Old GFC will meet its destination in the next few days, when in front of Municipal. The first leg of the Grand Final will be on Thursday, May 15 at the Penative Stadium, at 7:00 p.m. The lap will be played at the Manuel Felipe Carrera stadium on Sunday, May 18, at 2:00 p.m.
