The Bermuda Football Association (BFA) has officially unveiled the 21-member squad set to represent the island at the upcoming Concacaf Men’s Under-17 World Cup Qualifiers in Honduras. The announcement marks the beginning of a vital campaign as the young Gombey Warriors eye a spot in the expanded FIFA U-17 World Cup, which has now shifted to an annual format to provide consistent competitive exposure for emerging talent.
Bermuda has been drawn into Group H, where they will face a challenging route to qualification against Guyana, Suriname, and host nation Honduras. Under the current tournament regulations, only the winner of each group will punch their ticket to the World Cup finals, scheduled to take place in Qatar this November.
Head Coach Aaron Denkins, who recently transitioned from the under-20 women’s setup to lead the under-17 men, believes the draw provides his side with a realistic path to success.
“This is the second of the yearly FIFA World Cups, and we are excited to participate again after hosting our group last year,” said Denkins. “We have a foundation of players with experience at this level, and several are continuing their football journeys with overseas clubs. We are looking forward to doing well and qualifying for Qatar”.
The squad features a mix of veteran stability and rising talent, including goalkeeper Nuri Latham, who signed for UK Championship side Preston North End last year, and forwards Jeon Wolfe and Na’im Zuill.
The team is scheduled to depart for a final training camp in Orlando, Florida, before traveling to Honduras for their opening fixtures.
