Changes were announced to the groups and schedule of the tournament, due to a number of teams withdrawing from the competition because of COVID-19 travel restrictions. This led to an uneven number of teams per group, hence Concacaf had to make a decision to reformat the tournament’s group stage to two groups of three teams and one of four teams. At the end of the group stage play, the winner of each group and the best ranked second place finisher will advance to the 2022 Concacaf Women’s U-17 Championship. Some of the members of the team would have departed earlier in the week and three left on Saturday from the RLB International Airport. Accompanying the players are Diane Browne as Manager, Technical Director Jeffrey Hazel and Coach Earl Jones. The SKNFA offers best wishes to the team as they represent the Federation at a high level.
