History
On April 20, 2021, after five days of play, El Salvador advanced to the second round of 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualification. The week of games were played at the Gimnasio Nacional José Adolfo Pineda in the city of San Salvador.
The hosts took a 68–66 victory over Jamaica, a game in which a loss would have meant elimination. A three-pointer by José Araujo, with 49 seconds remaining sealed the win for El Salvador.
Center Ronnie Aguilar was crucial in defense, as he blocked Kevin Foster at the end of the game and avoided the tie on the scoreboard. Jamaica came close to 67–66. Aguilar was sent to the free throw line and only hit the second shot with two seconds left on the clock. Jamaica was left without any timeouts and ran out of time to take a shot.
The celebration was immediate between players and fans. Roberto Martínez was the offensive leader from El Salvador with 19 points. Aguilar and Araujo added 11 each. Jamaica was led by Omari Johnson with 18 points and Marcel Robinson with 12 points.
With a strong emphasis on teamwork and strategy, El Salvador has made significant strides in recent years, earning respect and recognition from fans and opponents alike. The team's passion for the game and commitment to excellence have helped them achieve success in various regional tournaments and championships.
Off the court, the players of El Salvador are known for their sportsmanship and dedication to their community, serving as role models for aspiring young athletes in the country. With a bright future ahead, El Salvador continues to make waves in the world of basketball, representing their nation with pride and determination.
