On 6 July 2010, ten days before the games started, CONCACAF withdrew their support of the tournament stating that the tournament facilities allegedly do not meet the "minimum standards required to conduct an international tournament." [4] They did not announce or inform this directly to the organizing committee, instead it was through the Costa Rica Football Federation's Web Page. [5] A few weeks before this announcement Concacaf officials had visited the installations and given them praise. [5]
More than $750,000 was invested in preparing the Pista Atletica Relín Sosa and the Estadio de Aguada by Administración del Financiamiento para la Infraestructura and the Municipalities of Aguada and Cabo Rojo. [3] Concacaf inspectors had gone to Puerto Rico in April and noted that there were some problems with the Aguada Stadium. In response AFI invested $500,000: it was painted, new grass was installed and other improvements were made. [6] The officials also mentioned deficiencies in the dressing rooms, and the Cabo Rojo government invested $250,000. [6]
At first the Mayagüez 2010 organizing committee intended to hold the football events, with or without Concacaf. [7] Felipe Perez, president of the Organizing Committee and Hector Cardona, president of Odecabe, were going to travel to Trinidad and Tobago to meet with Jack Warner, president of Concacaf on 9 July 2010. Yet the meeting was canceled since the Concacaf stated that their decision was final. [7] The Organizing Committee offered various options including moving some of the games to the Juan Ramón Loubriel Stadium and asked the Concacaf to reconsider its position, to no avail. [8] [9]
On 13 July 2010 Felipe Perez announced that the event would not be held because CONCACAF had threatened to sanction countries that participated. Some of the possible sanctions were the teams accreditation by Concacaf and ending economic helps. [3] Comaz never received any written or official indication from Concacaf about the non-celebration of the games. Felipe Perez stated that Comaz would take their complaint to FIFA. [3] He also stated that the Puerto Rico national football team would participate in the opening ceremony with the Puerto Rico delegation. [3]
More than 4,000 tickets had already been sold for the events. [3] On 14 July 2010 Felipe Perez announced to the press that Comaz was evaluating with their legal counsel the possibility of suing Concacaf in the next couple of days. [6] [10]
