Anguilla's World Cup qualifier against El Salvador will be played in Washington. D.C., on March 26 because the Caribbean island does not have a stadium that meets FIFA's new requirements on safety, security and quality.
The opener of the home-and-home, total-goals series will be played Feb. 6 in San Salvador. The winner advances to a second-round matchup with Panama.
FIFA previously said the Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands, Montserrat and Surinam will not be allowed to host World Cup qualifiers.
