Bermuda's senior men's national football team is gearing up for a historic campaign, with coach Michael Findlay making sure his side is ready for the challenges of World Cup qualifying and the introduction of VAR technology.
Bermuda have advanced to the final round of the CONCACAF qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. They've been drawn in a tough Group B, alongside regional giants Jamaica, Curaçao, and Trinidad and Tobago. The team’s first crucial match is against Jamaica at home on September 5th, a game being hailed as a defining moment for the sport on the island.
Findlay will be speaking to islandstats.com live at noon.
In a significant development, it has been confirmed that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system will be in use at the Bermuda National Sports Centre for the first time during the qualifiers. The system, which has been a staple in major leagues and tournaments worldwide, will provide an extra layer of scrutiny for crucial decisions.
