SAN SALVADOR – Come Tuesday evening when the Portland Timbers face El Salvador’s C.D. Dragón in the Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League (7pm PT, Univision Deportes / CONCACAF Facebook), the club will have added another famous stadium to their list of venues where they have played: Estadio Cuscatlán.
Located in the city of San Salvador, the historic Cuscatlán is the country’s national stadium. Interestingly, it is not the home field for Dragón who hail from San Miguel—85 miles east of the capital city. Dragón’s adopted home per CONCACAF stadium requirements for the duration of the tournament, the Cuscatlán is the regular field for fellow El Salvadoran Primera League side Alianza FC as well as the El Salvadoran national team.
