Bermuda's Men's Senior National team has fallen three places in the latest FIFA rankings after suffering back-to-back defeats to begin their CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying campaign.
Bermuda will go into the crucial October matches ranked 165th in the world, a challenging position within a tough group. They face opponents ranked significantly higher, including Jamaica at 69th, Curaçao at 84th, and their next rival, Trinidad and Tobago, who sit at 102nd.
The two defeats came against group rivals Jamaica and Curaçao, leaving the Bermudians with an uphill battle to progress.
Their next opponents, Trinidad and Tobago, will be a formidable test. The Soca Warriors and their head coach, Dwight Yorke, are facing intense criticism from fans following recent losses, particularly in the World Cup qualifiers. Bermuda will be hoping to take advantage of the pressure on their rivals as they look to get their qualifying campaign back on track.
