Real Espana are set for a tough opening test in Group A of the 2025 Copa Centroamericana, as they hit the road to take on CS Herediano this Wednesday.
This isn't just another road trip for the visitors; it's a mission fueled by ambition, belief, and a hunger to conquer. As they gear up for a massive Group B showdown against Sport Herediano, the Hondurans know the magnitude of the task that lies ahead.
CS Herediano is back for a third straight run in the Copa Centroamericana, having topped their group and punched a ticket to the semifinals in each of the past two editions. The Costa Rican powerhouse carries an undefeated 7-9-0 all-time record in the tournament, showcasing their consistency and pedigree on the regional stage.
Group B is no walk in the park; it's a pressure cooker where every result could tip the scales. For La Maquina, it's an opportunity to plant their flag and show the region what they're made of.
At the heart of their campaign is head coach Jeaustin Campos, a shrewd operator with a sharp tactical mind and a knack for delivering when it matters most. Having previously managed Herediano, Campos brings a wealth of insight into the opponent's setup, and that familiarity could prove to be Real Espana's ace in the hole.

Team news & squads
Club Sport Herediano team news
Centre-back Fernán Faerron faces a frustrating spell on the sidelines after sustaining a fracture to the fifth metatarsal in his left foot, an injury that will keep him out for at least two months.
The setback occurred last Thursday during the opening clash of the tournament against Guadalupe FC at Colleya Fonseca Stadium. Faerron's night was cut short when he went down before the 15-minute mark, clearly in discomfort, and was forced to exit the pitch early.
Real Espana team news
With previous triumphs under his belt, Jeaustin Campos holds a deep understanding of Sport Herediano, and that inside track could be the ace up Honduras' side sleeve in this showdown. Campos has meticulously drilled his squad for this pivotal clash and will be looking to cause a big upset here.
