Bermuda team named for Concacaf Under-15 Boys’ Championship
A squad of 18 players has been named by coach Vashun Blanchette to represent the island at the Concacaf Under-15 Boys’ Championship, in Curaçao.
In naming the final team, Blanchette expects the players to show commitment to the playing methods. He has chosen two goalkeepers, six defenders, five midfielders as well as the same number of forwards.
“As we approach the 2023 Concacaf U15 Championship, my expectation is for the team to demonstrate effort, cohesiveness, and the bravery to be committed to our preferred style of play,’’ Blanchette said.
“Our goal is to consistently perform at the level which we are capable to give us the best opportunity of being competitive during the course of the tournament.”

Other teams in League B are Antigua & Barbuda, Aruba, Barbados, Belize, Bonaire, Cayman Islands, Curaçao, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Guyana, Martinique, Nicaragua, St Kitts & Nevis, St Lucia, and Suriname.
