Guatemala are to host the 2018 Sudamericano 4 Naciones B. The rebranded competition is the new South American B Championship with Guatemala being joined by Costa Rica, Peru and Venezuela.
Both Costa Rica and Guatemala are involved as a result of being promoted from the South American C Championship last year. This has enabled Colombia to be a part of the Sudamericano 6 Naciones A together with the Argentina XV, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and the Uruguay XV.
Missing from the Sudamericano 6 Naciones B is Ecuador. Currently Ecuador is not to play in any international competition, though this may yet change.
The new Sudamericano 4 Naciones C tournament see the Costa Rica and Guatemala’s vacancies being taken by El Salvador and Honduras. El Salvador missed out on competing in 2017 while Honduras will make an historic appearance, following on from southern neighbors Nicaragua who debuted in 2017.
As it stands the Sudamericano 4 Naciones C will feature El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama. If Ecuador are reinstated by Sudamerica Rugby then the competition would become a five nations tournament.
