Notable events
FESFUT removal and Games suspensions
On the 20th of July, The Governmental National Sports Institute (INDES) in association with the Attorney general raided Salvadoran Football Federation (FESFUT) in relation to money laundering and fraudulent administration. INDES issued an administrative resolution ordering the dismissal of FESFUT directors and the creation of a Normalizing Commission.
As a result of this internal crisis, All three main divisions games from round 2 to 4 were suspended due to referees not showing up.
FIFA it could suspend El Salvador if its state-led sports institute removes the heads of the Salvadoran Football Federation (FESFUT) in favor of hand-picked officials, according to a letter shared by the federation online.
After a month and a half and with the imposition of a FIFA Regulation Committee in the FESFUT, plus the delivery of credentials by INDES, the second division obtained the green light to be able to resume their tournament, which was interrupted after a disputed date.
The Segunda Division announced September 1, 2022 that the season will resume the Apertura 2022 tournament on September 17, 2022. The final 2ill be played 14 January.[ 1]
