We are now just eleven days away from a landmark event for Bermudian football as the Women’s National Team prepares to host Costa Rica at the Flora Duffy South Field Stadium. Concacaf has confirmed the schedule for this crucial W Qualifiers window, representing a pivotal moment in the road to the 2026 Concacaf W Championship.
The stakes in Group C are incredibly high, with Bermuda currently locked in a three-way tie for the top spot alongside Guatemala and Costa Rica. While Bermuda has played two matches—including a resounding 4–0 victory over the Cayman Islands—their upcoming opponents have only competed once, narrowly defeating Grenada 2–1 on the road.
Head coach Naquita Robinson is brimming with optimism, stating that her squad is in an “excellent head space” ahead of the March 3rd showdown. To counter a formidable Costa Rican side, the coaching staff has been fine-tuning tactical adjustments to strengthen both offensive and defensive transitions. Robinson, having analyzed extensive video footage of the visitors, emphasized that the result will depend on the “energy and fight” her players deliver on match day.
In a strategic shift, Bermuda will embark on a week-long training camp starting next Monday. Robinson believes this extended period of preparation is essential for tactical cohesion and physical peak. For the national program, facing such elite opposition is viewed as a vital catalyst for long-term growth and professional development.
