The one CONCACAF final Guatemala won, it won away from home, in Tegucigalpa in 1967, after finishing runner-up twice either side of it, in 1965 and 1969. That single title still sits alone in the record; the closest the team has come since was second place in the CCCF Championship in the 1940s and a UNCAF Nations Cup won on home ground in 2001, with three further runner-up finishes in that regional tournament through the 1990s.

The federation behind the team, FEDEFUT, dates to 1919, joined FIFA in 1946 and was a founding member of CONCACAF in 1961. Los Chapines play in white with a blue diagonal sash, at the Estadio Doroteo Guamuch Flores in Guatemala City, a ground built in 1948 and opened in 1950 that once held 50,000 before seating cut its capacity to 26,116.

Carlos Ruiz remains the reference point in attack: 68 goals in 133 caps, a Golden Boot and MVP season in MLS in 2002, and the all-time scoring record in World Cup qualifying with 39 goals across a career split between five MLS clubs. Matches against El Salvador and Honduras carry the weight of the old CCCF and UNCAF eras, when Guatemala first learned to reach finals without yet winning them.
