Aunque la Federación de Honduras continúa empeñada en no querer hacer oficial de parte de ellos el duelo entre Ingleses y Catrachos en Miami, la compañía organizadora del evento, anunció cuándo y cómo se podrán adquirir los boletos para los encuentros en el Estadio Sun Life de Miami Gardens.
Relevent Sports fue la compañía que organizó el exitoso partido entre Honduras y Brasil el pasado 16 de Noviembre que dejó además, una marca récord de asistencia para un duelo de fútbol celebrado en dicha instalación, sede de la Universidad de Miami y los Dolphins de la NFL y hasta hace un año, de los Marlins de las Grandes Ligas.
