The Vice Mayor of Managua, Enrique Armas, was in charge of inaugurating the league in which the cooperatives participate: 21 de Enero, Camilo Ortega, Omar Vaca, Colón, Nueva Nicaragua, Ricardo Morales and Parrales Vallejos.

“The teams have been organized under the coordination of the Mayor's Office of Managua to carry out this beautiful tournament. They are people who work hard all week and who deserve a pleasant and fraternal recreation and that is why the Mayor's Office has made this stadium available and in field number 1 and 2 of computations on the north highway, they have authorized 25 players per team, in addition to their respective coaching staff. The seven teams will play a doubleheader every Sunday."

For his part, Danilo Hurtado, president of the Colón cooperative, thanked the municipality and the central government for their support in promoting sports.

“We have to thank God infinitely for allowing us to be here. It is the first time that this type of event is organized where only transport cooperatives participate.
