 On 11 May 2010 the FIFA Emergency Committee suspended the Salvadoran Football Federation ( FESFUT ) on account of government interference . This decision by FIFA was based on the fact that the statutes ratified by the FESFUT general assembly in August 2009 had not been formally entered in the country 's official register , and that the government had failed to acknowledge the authority of the Normalisation Committee set up to represent FESFUT . Consequently , FIFA considered that it was not possible for FESFUT to organise the general assembly in line with the action plan that had been drawn up , and suspended FESFUT . For the suspension to be lifted , Salvadoran authorities needed to recognize the legitimacy of the Normalisation Committee of the Salvadoran Football Association . The suspension was lifted by May 28 . By FIFA lifting the suspension , La Selecta was once again allowed to participate in international tournaments at both club and national levels . El Salvador 's under @-@ 21 team qualified for the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games ( CAC ) tournament in Mayagüez , Puerto Rico . However , CONCACAF decided to suspend football at the 2010 CAC shortly thereafter . El Salvador was also able to participate in the qualifying tournament for the 2012 Summer Olympics .
