Captain Shanice Stevenson is calling on Barbadians to trek in their numbers to Kensington Oval on Monday and support the national senior women’s footballers in their quest to make the CONCACAF W Championship.
The local women will tackle the Trinidad and Tobago side in their opening match of the CONCACAF Women’s qualifiers from 4 pm, and Stevenson believes they can make the country proud, especially during the independence celebrations. Barbados will be in group ‘F’ along with Trinidad, El Salvador and Honduras. Head coach Kerry Trotman says the 23-member squad comprises a good mix of players, all capable of facing their tough opponents.
At the conclusion of the CONCACAF W qualifiers, the six group winners will join the United States and Canada in next year’s eight-team CONCACAF W Championship.
The CONCACAF W Championship will serve as the confederation’s qualifier for both the FIFA Women’s World Cup Brazil 2027 and the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics.
