matches for the Bermuda under-17 team next week as the United States Olympic Development Team from Region three (mid-Eastern region) arrives this weekend.

Canada will stay on until Monday to provide the first opposition on Sunday when they take on the Americans at the National Stadium (6.00) and on Tuesday and Wednesday the United States will meet Bermuda at the stadium at 6.00.

"We see this as another excellent opportunity for our team to gain valuable international exposure against quality opposition in preparing for our ultimate goal of trying to qualify during the CONCACAF under 17 Championships in Trinidad next month,'' said general secretary of the BFA David Sabir yesterday.

"There will be an admission of $2 so we're hoping for the same level of support from those three encounters as we got during the just concluded International Youth Tournament. We are very excited that we have activity within football.'' The BFA will hold a special affiliates council meeting on Monday at the Young Men's Social Club at 6 p.m. to receive the amendments to the BFA constitution in accordance to the recommendations submitted by the committee chaired by Sir John Sharpe.
