CLYDE BEST INVITATIONAL YOUTH TOURNAMENT
On February 12th, 13th and 14th top level international youth football will be on show at the National Sports Centre. The 4th Annual Clyde Best Invitational Football Tournament will feature two of the world’s renowned football Academies. West Ham United Academy of the UK and A.S. Saint-Etienne of France will compete against Bermuda’s finest young players involved in our National Academy Program.
The tournament is a celebration of the incredible legacy of our hero Clyde Best, ex-West Ham and Bermuda International football icon! The tournament is also an important key in the Strategic Plan of the Association which above all else provides the opportunity to prepare our youth players for upcoming CFU and CONCACAF tournaments, provides a barometer of where our National Academy players see themselves in relation to other football countries of similar age and continues to help build our ties with other top football programs.

Haiti Relief Fundraising
By now you are well aware of the devastating outcomes that have inflicted great pain and suffering on our brothers and sisters, friends and associates on the Caribbean Island of Haiti. The international media coverage has shown heart-wrenching images that have become so hard to bear. The personal stories of tragedy are unlike anything we have seen and wish never to see again. The stories of survival and the uphill battle facing the Haitian population is a call for the rest of the World to look beyond the safety of our personal comforts and reach out to those who need our help the most!
This statement is a direct appeal to our entire Bermuda football family because our colleagues in the Haitian Football Federation did not escape this tragedy. At least thirty (30) members of the football family in Haiti comprising Executive members, office staff, administrators, players, coaches, referees were crushed when their headquarters collapse on top of them during the earthquake. All that remains is a slap of concrete which according to the latest reports still contains the bodies of at least twenty (20) more football persons yet to be accounted for and who still remain buried in the collapsed building.
