 The Turks and Caicos U20 Men’s National Football Team will soon compete with the United States Virgin Islands in what is expected to be an exciting test of wills for the local team in a home and away game format. The 2010 Caribbean Football Union (CFU) U20 Men’s Tournament will see Team TCI play the first phase of the competition of the scheduled match-up, from which the winner will qualify for the Second Phase Preliminary Stage, joining Jamaica, Guyana and Grenada. The first game will take place at the TCI National Stadium in Providenciales on Wednesday, Sept. 8, with a kick-off time of 4 p.m. “Whilst the at home and away format requires considerably more expense on TCIFA’s part, the approach to host one of the matches in TCI was taken to give our players an opportunity to showcase their talents in the presence of TCI supporters and peers, who may not have an opportunity to travel to the USVI to support the team,” said Sonia Bien-Aime, general secretary to the TCIFA. “The Football Association’s aim is to be competitive at regional level, and these games will be an important indication of where we are currently in this regard,” she said. “We still have a young squad of players, and these matches will give the young men much needed experience in a higher level of competition.” The second leg will be held in the USVI on Sept. 14 at The St. Croix Educational Complex Grounds, Rural Route No. 2, Kingshill. The TCIFA, a non-for-profit organisation in the business of football development throughout the TCI, has been in operation since 1996 and a member of FIFA since 1998.
