Bermuda’s senior national football team could play St Kitts and Nevis in a friendly as part of their Caribbean Cup preparations.

It is understood that Bermuda Football Association is in the process of arranging at least one warm-up match before the competition gets under way in March, with St Kitts believed to be the likeliest opponent.

Bermuda, who are ranked 159th in the Fifa world rankings, have not played since bowing out in the second round of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers after losing to Guatemala 1-0 on aggregate in the home and away series.

After the match the BFA launched a review of the campaign after it was revealed that the team’s preparations for the home match against Guatemala were troubled by accommodation problems and players misbehaving.

The findings of that review have yet to be disclosed publicly.

Meanwhile, Bermuda have been pitted against Cuba and French Guiana in group three of the first-round qualifiers of the Caribbean Cup.

The first round, featuring home and away legs, will be played in March with the top two teams of the seven groups, plus the next best team, advancing to the second round to be played in May.

All qualifying dates will take place on Fifa calendar dates, which means Bermuda will have the availability of their top players Nahki Wells, Rai Simons and Reggie Lambe, whose clubs are obliged to release them for international duty.

The third round of the qualifiers will be held in October, the fifth-place play-off in November, with the finals to take place in May 2017.

The top four Caribbean nations will qualify for the next year’s Concacaf Gold Cup, which will be held from July 9 to 30.

Bermuda’s national team have not competed in the Caribbean Cup since 2012 when Bascome’s side, without several of their key players, failed to qualify from their group, losing 2-1 to Puerto Rico, 3-1 to host nation Haiti before finishing off with an 8-0 thrashing of St Martin.

The first round is due to be played between March 21 and 29, with the second round, featuring 15 teams, taking place from May 15 to 21.

The third round, will take place in October, when Jamaica, Haiti and Trinidad and Tobago join the competition.
