National footballers touch down in curacao for World Cup qualifiers

The [British] Virgin Islands national football squad has safely arrived at its base in Curacao ahead of the first round of CONCACAF Qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup, Qatar 2022 games against Guatemala and St Vincent and the Grenadines.

Based at the Acoya Hotel, just across the road from their main training ground in Willemstad, the players have already begun work on acclimatisation and fitness with Strength and Conditioning coach, Javon Carty, as well as being given comprehensive plans on strategy and expectations from the coaching staff, including Dan Neville, Clinton Percival, John Reilly and Morris Mark.

‘Fitness level seems high’- Coach Carty


One of the debutants Kevin Fisher-Daniel felt the work out had been a nice introduction to the Camp and had set the tone as to the levels of hard work to be expected “it was just a little thing, but good to have the entire squad together. The work out certainly helped to get rid of the jet lag, but I feel match fit and am ready to go!”

Fisher-Daniel also said he was thrilled to be a part of the squad, ready to for a win and to give his all.

Coach Carty was also happy with the first session “they are looking very good, the fitness level seems high, and I’m definitely pumped up to see how they perform on the field.”

The squad will have another strength and conditioning session today, Friday, March 19, 2021, ahead of an afternoon of training at the Curacao National Stadium named after local goalkeeping hero, Ergilio Hato.

A full programme of training will continue over the weekend and the team will play a warmup game against the local Division One Champions of Curacao on Monday, March 22, 2021.

First match in qualifiers is against Guatemala


The VI will play Guatemala on Saturday, March 27, 2021, behind closed doors, due to local COVID-19 protocols and then St Vincent and the Grenadines on Tuesday, March 30, 2021, also behind closed doors.

Both games kick-off at 6:00 pm and details of how to watch will be confirmed by the BVI Football Association (BVIFA) as soon as they are available.
