UTEP's football game versus FIU, scheduled for this Saturday (Nov. 7) in the Sun Bowl, has been canceled.

FIU officials announced in a press release on Tuesday afternoon that "In an abundance of caution, due to the number of healthy scholarship football student-athletes available for this game, and to ensure a sufficient number moving forward, we regret to announce that we will not be playing the football game this weekend."

All season ticket holders and single-game ticket holders will be contacted within the coming days regarding refund options.

The Miners will return to action a week from Saturday (Nov. 14) at UTSA. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. Mountain time, and the game will be streamed on ESPN+.

We've gone through a rough stretch, but are hopeful that we'll come out of it strong and be able to get some games in over the next month. I continue to applaud our coaches, student-athletes and staff, including our Sports Medicine department, for doing everything they can to put our team in a position to play each and every week."

Statement from UTEP Football Coach Dana Dimel
"We are disappointed that we won't be able to play this weekend, but we will continue working hard and look forward to our next game versus UTSA!"
