EL PASO, Texas (January 19, 2023) – El Paso Locomotive FC’s Eric Calvillo and Amando Moreno, who were called up to the El Salvador National Team last week, will take on Major League Soccer’s Inter Miami in an international preseason friendly tonight at 6 p.m. MT, with the match streaming live on MLSsoccer.com (English) and MLSes.com (Spanish).
El Salvador, led by newly appointed head coach David Dóniga, is Miami’s first opponent in their international preseason tour before the start of the 2024 MLS season.
Locomotive’s Calvillo and Moreno could take the field tonight against arguably the greatest player of all time, Lionel Messi, as well as big-name stars like Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.
Moreno has become a consistent figure on the pitch for El Salvador in recent fixtures and will be looking to record his 16th cap for La Selecta whereas Calvillo will be hoping to make his eighth (8) appearance for his country.
Calvillo is set for his third season in El Paso, recording nine goals and six assists in his 63 USL Championship appearances for Locomotive FC. Moreno joined Locomotive during this year’s offseason from arch-rivals New Mexico United where he finished 2023 as their top scorer (10 goals) and joint-top assist leader (five assists). In his four seasons with New Mexico, Moreno totaled 24 goals and 11 assists in 83 total matches.
