Reggie Lambe Set For Final Home Match
Bermuda footballer Reggie Lambe will play his final home match for the national team against Curaçao at the Flora Duffy Stadium today [November 13], bringing an end to an 18-year international career.
Lambe, the island’s most-capped player, made his debut for Bermuda in 2007 at the age of 16.
His farewell appearance is expected to come in the team’s final group B match of the Concacaf World Cup qualifiers away to Trinidad and Tobago on Tuesday.
Coach Michael Findlay paid tribute to the 34-year-old, who has played for clubs including Ipswich Town and Toronto FC.
“Reggie now joins a long list of Bermudian football legends who have represented their country on the international football stage with honour and respect,” Findlay said.
“Reggie’s journey is one to applaud and celebrate as it is a testament to his lifelong commitment to Bermuda, its football, and its people, which has come with sacrifice as he navigated this pathway.
“It gave me great pleasure to be able to provide him with his 50th international appearance against French Guiana in 2023, and it was an honour to have been part of Reggie’s journey as a coach.
“I thank him for his continued support and commitment to the Bermuda national team programme, which he demonstrated with purpose and support of his current and past team members and to the future stars of the Bermuda senior men’s national team programme – a path well-travelled and on behalf of the technical staff, players, and fans I say thank you, Reggie!”
BFA president Mark Wade added: “Having watched Reggie’s rise, it is bittersweet to witness his international retirement.
“He has been involved in all of the senior men’s national team highs during my time on the BFA Executive Council since 2010, from a notable draw against Guatemala, to the historic win in the Dominican Republic that secured our Gold Cup berth in 2019, to his match-winning goal in Cuba that sealed participation in this Fifa Concacaf World Cup Qualifiers final round.”
