Gold Cup: ‘Media Day’ For Football In Costa Rica
[Written by Don Burgess]
In a little over 24 hours Bermuda will make history as it steps onto the pitch to battle Haiti in the Concacaf Gold Cup.
Today [June 15] will be full of official activities as part of Media Day for all the teams.
At 3.00pm [6.00pm Bermuda time] captain Dante Leverock and head coach Kyle Lightbourne will be available to the media at the official press conference at the Estadio Nacional.
A Concacaf media liaison told Bernews they “do expect the full team may do a walk through of the stadium immediately afterwards.”
Following Bermuda’s press conference and walk through, the other three teams in Group B – Haiti, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica – will each have their own spotlight with a press conference and walk through.
Bernews will be there to bring you coverage of the day’s events.
Bermuda’s team includes Nahki Wells, Dante Leverock, Jonte Smith, Reggie Lambe, Dale Eve, Oliver Jalen Harvey, Calon Minors, Roger Lee, Kacy Milan Butterfield, Jaylon Bather, Lejaun Simmons, Donte Brangman, Chikosi Basden, Zeiko Lewis, Willie Clemons, Jahquil Hill, Osagi Bascome, Cecoy Robinson, Justin Donawa, Wendell Tre Ming, Liam Evans, Marco Warren, and Quinaceo Hunt.
The Gombey Warriors will take on Haiti on June 16th in Costa Rica, then Costa Rica on June 20th in Dallas, and then match up against Nicaragua on June 24th in New Jersey, and in an effort to provide comprehensive coverage of Bermuda’s debut in this highly prestigious regional competition, Bernews has a dedicated reporter traveling with the team in order to bring all the latest action and insights, with the special coverage thanks to the support of Butterfield & Vallis, One Communications, and Bermuda Security Group.
