The Bermuda Under-17 Women’s National Team is on the brink of history as they prepare for their final Group B fixture of the 2026 Concacaf Women's Under-17 Qualifiers.
Bermuda will take to the Flora Duffy South Field Stadium for a decisive clash against Panama, with a place in the Final Round hanging in the balance.
Bermuda enters the match following two dominant displays—a 7-0 victory over Suriname and a 7-1 thrashing of Bonaire. However, Panama currently holds the top spot in Group B due to a superior goal difference of +16, compared to Bermuda’s +13. With only the six group winners and the two best second-place finishers advancing to join the region’s top-seeded nations, the stakes could not be higher.
To set the stage for this high-stakes encounter, IslandStats.com will host a specialized pre-game show live from the National Sports Centre starting at 6:00 pm. The broadcast will provide fans with comprehensive coverage, tactical insight, and exclusive team news ahead of the 7:00 pm kickoff.
The centerpiece of the show will be an in-depth discussion of the three critical scenarios facing Bermuda as they look to secure their pathway to the next round:
Scenario 1: The Direct Route (Victory) – A win for Bermuda will see them leapfrog Panama to finish as Group B winners, qualifying them automatically for the Final Round.
Scenario 2: The Calculation Route (Draw) – A draw would leave Bermuda in second place with 7 points. While a strong tally, their fate would depend on results from Groups A and C to see if they remain one of the two best runners-up.
Scenario 3: The Dangerous Route (Defeat) – A loss would leave Bermuda on 6 points, making qualification significantly more difficult. The Lady Gombey Warriors would need to keep the scoreline extremely close to protect their +13 goal difference in hopes of edging out other second-place teams.
