2011 Pan American Games & 2012 Olympic Qualifiers
CONCACAF announced the allocation of berths for its 2012 Olympic qualifying tournament and the 2011 Pan American Games.
Unchanged from 2008, the men's Olympic qualifying event - to be staged at a venue yet to be chosen - will feature eight teams, including Canada, Mexico and the United States, two qualifiers from the Caribbean and three from Central America.
In Women's qualifying, host Canada, Mexico and the United States will qualify automatically. They will be joined by three teams from the Caribbean and two from Central America.
CONCACAF will send men's four teams to the 2011 Pan American Games to be held in Guadalajara, Mexico, October 13th – 30th. In addition to Mexico, one team each from Central America and the Caribbean - the highest finisher from each at the 2011 CONCACAF Under-20 Championship - will qualify. The final berth will be awarded to the next-best Central American or Caribbean finisher at the U-20s. The U-20 Championship will be held in Guatemala from April 3-17, 2011.

Somerset Eagles Games Postponed
• Premier Match: Sunday - October 17th vs. Devonshire Colts
• Dudley Eve Match: Thursday – October 21st vs. North Village Rams
• Premier Match: Sunday – October 24th vs. PHC Zebras
This decision is in keeping with the Association’s policy which allows for any team with 4 or more players representing Bermuda during international or other official events may request to have their matches postponed.
The rescheduling of these matches will be announced in due course.
