VI drawn in tough Group C for World Cup Qualifiers
The [British] Virgin Islands, led by 18-year-old Tyler Forbes, will look to rekindle the same fighting spirit they displayed in the CONCACAF Nations League Qualifiers, but are in a tough group C, along with Curacao, Guatemala, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Cuba
“The team is very excited to play in this group especially with the talent we have and the growing bond we have together,” commented Forbes.
“It won’t be easy, but we like a challenge and us underdogs we always seem to perform better like in the game versus Martinique. I feel the BVI will be proud of us and surprised too when, hopefully, they get to see what we have to offer with some home games. After the Hurricanes and the Covid 19 pandemic the team are hungry for success and ready to finally play in front of our home fans”.
Home games
BVI Football Association (BVIFA) President, Andy Bickerton noted the World Cup Draw had thrown the VI into a tough group and is hoping the pandemic won’t stop the opportunity of staging home games.
“We have been drawn in a very strong group and have to hope that despite the COVID challenges we are able to play our home matches against Guatemala and Curacao in the BVI.”
Matches in the group are expected to take place from October 2020.
