Luis Fernando Tena, the Mexican coach leading the Guatemalan national team in the Gold Cup, has earned the respect of the entire country thanks to a touching gesture before the match against Canada at the Shell Energy Stadium in Houston.

The strategist was caught singing the National Anthem of Guatemala during the moments before the match, which generated great emotion for Fernando Tena and the present fans. Despite not being Guatemalan, the coach expressed his admiration and his skin bristled when witnessing the fervent interpretation of the anthem by the players.

Flaco Tena, as known in the subsequent press conference, shared his feelings about that special moment: "The National Anthem was something extraordinary. Although I am not Guatemalan, I am moved and goosebumps appear when I see the passion with which they sing their anthem. The players responded with a good game and returned to the fans all that emotion."

Without a doubt, Guatemala's selection has been a surprise. They had not qualified for the second round of the Gold Cup since the 90s, and undoubtedly their main objective will be to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in North America.
