Balo’, Mister 50%!
Intended to replace friendly matches, like the Nations League in Europe, this competition is played among the national teams of North and Central America. This November, Balo’ and his teammates will therefore compete in the two-legged quarterfinals, against the team from Trinidad and Tobago. It’s an additional opportunity for the Monegasque sriker to shine, having already made 6 appearances… in which he’s had three goals and one assist!
The first stage of this double-legged tie will take place on November 17 in the United States in Austin, before the return leg four days later on Tuesday 21 in Trinidad and Tobago. Daghe Balo! 🇺🇸
