Dominica’s Men’s Senior National Football Team is gearing up for its debut appearance in the CONCACAF Series, which kicks off this week in St. Kitts.
The tournament, organized for nations no longer in contention for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, provides valuable competitive opportunities and a chance to strengthen regional football ties.
Balanced 23-man squad named
A 23-player roster has been finalized by the technical staff, blending promising newcomers with seasoned campaigners. The line-up includes four debutants and five overseas-based players, signaling a well-rounded mix of fresh energy and experience.
Squad: Goalkeepers: Jerome Burkard, Donte Newton, Jaheem Cuffy; Defenders: Eustace Marshall, Jaylan Jnoville, Marcus Bredas, Ethan Nichols, Nick Anthony, Lyan Edwards, Mosiah Bonney, Durelle; Midfielders: Savio Anselm, Nathan Newton, Jervanie Xavier, Briel Thomas, Malachai Bonney, Gylles Mitchel; Forwards: Audel Laville, Travist Joseph, Javid George, Donte Warrington, Antawn Larocque, Troy Jules.
According to a release from the Dominica Football Association (DFA), the selected squad reflects both “the steady growth of local football and the commitment to exposing emerging players to international competition.”
Challenging Group B assignment
Dominica has been drawn into Group B, where they will face Belize, Saint Martin, Sint Maarten, and hosts St. Kitts and Nevis.
The team opens its campaign on Wednesday, November 12, against Saint Martin, followed by their second fixture on Saturday, November 15, versus Sint Maarten.
All matches in the series will be staged at Warner Park, St. Kitts, with kickoff set for 3:00 p.m.
Building momentum for the future
While the series does not serve as World Cup qualification, it offers crucial match experience for Dominica’s growing player pool. The DFA emphasized that the initiative provides “a structured platform for continued development and regional competitiveness,” as the nation looks to build depth ahead of upcoming international tournaments.
This appearance marks another significant milestone for Dominica’s football ambitions—an opportunity not only to test new talent but to showcase national pride on a regional stage.
