Herrera plans to bring new ideas to this body and implement them. “The National League needs some changes to adapt football to international ideas, we are lagging behind international demands. We need to be more competitive than we are now,” explains Olympia’s Voice 10.
When asked about his opinion of more teams in the National League, he was clear. “I think the participation of 12 teams is unusual, but a study should be carried out to see the possibilities of looking at the sporting and economic options of Honduran football. Today we have 10 left”.

He ended up sending a message for more criticism. “The board of directors of the National League is the board of directors of 10 teams, so when one becomes president he represents the whole body and one cannot be treated differently from another. By becoming president, I leave all other positions,” he concluded.
