Bermuda will begin their bid to reach the Concacaf Under-20 Championship today [February 24] as the region’s qualifying tournament gets under way across Central America and the Caribbean.
The qualifiers, which opened yesterday, feature 32 nations competing for six places at the Championship, the next stage of qualification for the Fifa Under-20 World Cup and the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
