Following opening match against Dominica, Nature Boys will face Turks and Caicos Islands on Saturday, August 17, US Virgin Islands on Monday, August 19 and Anguilla on Tuesday August 20.

The CFU, dedicated to the management and development of football in the region, serves as an umbrella platform for 31 football-playing nations in the Caribbean. This year, 23 of these nations are showcasing their young talents in this multi-country football series.

The tournament structure divides the teams into two tiers. Tier 1 includes the top eight teams, while the remaining 15 teams compete in Tier 2. Within Tier 2, the BVI U-14 boys’ team has been placed in Group B, alongside Anguilla, Turks and Caicos, the US Virgin Islands, and Dominica.

The CFU Boy’s U-14 Challenge Series is viewed as a crucial platform for nurturing young talent in the region, with fans calling for greater attention to be paid to the sport, particularly in nations not participating this year.
