The first round of the 2015 CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying Championship qualification gets underway in Haiti this week and will see the Cayman Islands compete against St Kitts and Nevis, Barbados and host country, Haiti, in Group 1 of the draw for participating Caribbean Football Union (CFU) teams.
Mr Renard Moxam, Director of National Teams, said the squad has been in preparation for six weeks under the tutelage of head coaches Mr. Alex Gonzalez & Mr. Alban Ruiz.
“We are drawn in a very competitive group and respect all of the football countries we will be competing against but equally we intend to give the games our best efforts and see where it takes us.”
Team Captain, Mr Wesley Robinson said that it was an honour to play for the national team and to lead his side in the Olympic qualifiers.
“Since I was a kid I have always dreamed about playing football and representing my country at the highest level.”
“The team have been training hard, day in and day out, to get ready for the matches in Haiti this week. We look forward to seeing our hard work pay off and to hopefully coming home with a good result.”
The final round will be held 14-16 August 2015 and will determine which two teams from the Caribbean Zone qualify for the 2015 CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying Championship later this year.
