CONCACAF U/15 Football Tournament Underway

Bermuda is set to take on the US Virgin Islands this evening [Aug 13] as the inaugural CONCACAF Under-15 Championship gets underway in the Cayman Islands.

CONCACAF said the Championship — which will be held every two years —  is expected to strengthen the love of the game among young players and foster a commitment to the sport that will grow along with them.

The tournament will be contested through August 25 with teams from 23 member associations including Antigua & Barbuda, Aruba, the Bahamas, Belize, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Curacao, El Salvador, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Martinique, Puerto Rico, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, Saint Martin, St. Maarten, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Trinidad & Tobago and the US Virgin Islands.

For first-round play, the squads have been drawn into four groups – three of six teams and one comprised of five teams. Each team will play the others in its group once. The group winners will advance to the semifinals on August 23 at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex. The match for third place and the final will take place two days later at the same venue.

Bermuda has been placed in Group 1, and will take on the US Virgin Islands at The Annex Field this evening.

Bermuda’s starting line up is Amar Lewis [Captain], Yanai Smith-Davis [Goalkeeper], Ahria Simons, Jordan Lambe, Oneko Lowe, Jason Symonds, Jai-zel Smith Deshields, Justin Bell, Knory Scott, and Osagi Bascome.
