ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – With the transfer deadline day fast approaching, member clubs of the British Virgin Islands Football Association (BVIFA) are all gearing up for the launch of the 2016/17 season, which begins with the National League.

Some ten clubs are expected to participate in the National League, which will run from September to late February 2017, with a mid-season Christmas break.

The Opening Ceremony is scheduled for September 18, 2016 on the A.O. Shirley Recreation Grounds, from 4:00 P.M. and will not only feature the usual speeches, but also two big games to get things started.

At 5:00 P.M. Sugar Boys will play Wolues and that game will be followed by Islanders taking on One Love at 7:00 P.M.

The BVIFA has also promised entertainment, food and refreshments on the day and the entrance fee is just $3.00 ($2 under 12).

The National League is just the start of a full calendar of football for the season, but with a total prize money of $11,000 it will be a hotly contested competition.

The last time the National League took place was three years ago, in 2014, when as a two tier premier league and division one. The Premier League Champions were the Islanders, who had also won the previous year’s championship and the division one title went to Old Madrid.

    The NDP started a soccer field in the east shortly before election as a gimmick...15 months later it is still sitting there untouched with bushes over 6 feet tall and water settling/breeding mosquitoes.
