National Training Center
The federation's headquarters is vastly growing and becoming more adaptable to its athletes. It is surrounded by 3 grass pitches and a dormitory area for the players.The Guatemala football association's second Goal project consists of two parts. Firstly, the association's previous Goal project - a national technical centre in Guatemala City - will be upgraded to incorporate dressing rooms, storerooms and a medical centre, and the pitch at the centre will be extended. Secondly, work will be done on the pitches at the regional training centre in Quetzaltenango in the nation's highlands.Women's football teams will be the main beneficiaries of the improvement in infrastructure. The Goal Bureau approved the project on 4 February 2008; the work will last approximately one year.

Famous quotes containing the words national, training and/or center:
“In really hard times the rules of the game are altered. The inchoate mass begins to stir. It becomes potent, and when it strikes,... it strikes with incredible emphasis. Those are the rare occasions when a national will emerges from the scattered, specialized, or indifferent blocs of voters who ordinarily elect the politicians. Those are for good or evil the great occasions in a nation’s history.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“When a man goes through six years’ training to be a doctor he will never be the same. He knows too much.”
—Enid Bagnold (1889–1981)
“Actually being married seemed so crowded with unspoken rules and odd secrets and unfathomable responsibilities that it had no more occurred to her to imagine being married herself than it had to imagine driving a motorcycle or having a job. She had, however, thought about being a bride, which had more to do with being the center of attention and looking inexplicably, temporarily beautiful than it did with sharing a double bed with someone with hairy legs and a drawer full of boxer shorts.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
