Derek Broadley has questioned the Bermuda Football Association’s (BFA) decision to pull out of the men’s Under-23 Olympic qualifiers in favour of sending two women’s teams to international competitions.The Under-23s were to play in regional qualifiers in July, but the BFA have withdrawn the squad because of budget cutbacks even though cash has been found for their women’s teams.Broadley, the ex-BFA technical director, believes the BFA’s u-turn undermines the previous regime’s Strategic Plan, which made the Under-23s top priority pointing out the main factor behind the Bermuda Hogges link-up was to prepare players for international competitions like the Olympics.“(The BFA) have done an about-turn because we’d entered the (Olympic) competition.“It seems they’re jumping from one plan to another, because we were supposed to be building the Under-23s into the national team as part of the Strategic Plan,” said Broadley, who left the Island in March after completing his three-year contract.“(The BFA) put all this money into the Hogges last year, into the Under-20s, into Under-17s we’re just going to throw it away.“All the money that’s been previously invested is going to be wasted. Following the recent success of the Under-20s, and the effort put into the Bermuda Hogges, you’d think the Olympic team would be the natural progression.”This summer will see the senior women’s team head to the Dominican Republic for Olympic qualifiers in July, while the women’s Under-17 side will be involved in World Cup qualifiers a month later.Following an in-depth analysis into the failings of the women’s game, the BFA completely overhauled the domestic league last season; a move that saw them temporarily shut down the female National Academy.And Broadley feels it makes no sense to play international competitions until the women’s domestic game is fully operational.“I’m can’t believe they would even consider playing international football while they haven’t got the women’s domestic game in order,” said Broadley, now head coach at US side Knoxville Force. “They’re going to put two teams into international competitions who haven’t even been playing 11-a-side, they’ve been playing nine-a-side.“I guess (entering) the Under-17 team I understand, that’s where the biggest talent pool is.”This summer’s Hogges side will become the de facto national team as the BFA look towards the 2014 World Cup qualifiers that could start as early as December as well as next year’s Digicel Caribbean Cup.
