Sajjadi's statements came at the end of a meeting with Cuban Ambassador Alberto Gonzalez, in which the Iranian representative revealed the interest in taking advantage of Cuba's sports capabilities.

"We want the Cuban national soccer team to play a friendly match with the Iranian national team," Gonzalez wagered as he praised the establishment of full cooperation in sports with this country.

Oliet Rodriguez clarified the absence of striker Marcel Hernandez among those called up for the first matches: 

"He was one of the players called to participate, his return ticket to Cuba was arranged for him, but he decided at the last minute not to participate with the Cuban national team in this Nations League qualifier. In due time, he will be analyzed".

The Cuban Football Association (AFC) announced the call for the first match of the CONCACAF Nations League, but at a press conference, Oliet Rodríguez, national commissioner and president of the AFC, mentioned the absence of Marcel Hernández, striker of Club Sport Cartaginés of Costa Rica.
He explained that the striker from the capital "declined to participate after being summoned and having secured his ticket to Cuba", according to the official's statements.

This is the starting XI with which the visitors will take the field at the René Serge Nabajoth Stadium to face Guadeloupe.

This call was announced by the authorities of the sport and, a few days after it was published, the controversy was already unleashed because the number of players that were announced were never concentrated, only the athletes chosen by the decision-makers arrived at the meeting.
On May 24 and 25, the list of 32 players summoned to the national team, which included players from the local tournament and players who play in foreign leagues, was expected to arrive. Once they had all been assembled, a cut would be made and the 23 players who would make up the final roster would be selected.

The list of players left out of the Cuban national team is made up of Christian Flores, Roberney Caballero, Neisser Sandó, Lázaro Aballí, José A. Peréz, Jorge Villalón, Erick Rizo, Pedro Bravo and goalkeeper Alfredo López, for many the most outstanding goalkeeper.
Several elements point to the fact that the final roster had been decided some time ago and that, therefore, the large call-up was only made to create expectations and meet the expectations of the fans and press, who demanded the call-up of several of the home-grown talents.

Oliet Rodríguez added that the objective of Cuba's participation is to move up to the first division of the tournament and get closer to qualifying for the Gold Cup.

"The team is focused on that purpose, also taking into account its second division group, formed by Guadeloupe, Barbados and Antigua and Barbuda. They have many aspirations to demonstrate the work done since 2019, when there was a renewal.

Concacaf's decision to launch the Concacaf Nations League has been welcomed by players throughout the region, especially in the Caribbean.
Players and teams from the islands that previously only saw action every four years in World Cup qualifiers now benefit from regular competitive matches and the group results in League B and League C reflect that in full.

The referee for the match between both teams is José Torres from Puerto Rico as center referee, Jairo Morales and Limanuel Sola will be the standard bearers while William Anderson will be the fourth referee, all of them from Puerto Rico.
