Havana.- THE SELECTION Cuban soccer team learned this Thursday about the rivals it will face and its playing schedule at level A of the 2024-2025 Concacaf Nations League.
The route will be demanding for the Caribbean Lions, who will make their debut as visitors in Jamaica on September 6.
Four dates later they will host Nicaragua at home in what is, despite the excellent level of the Pinoleros, the least difficult commitment for those led by Yunielys Castillo.
The closest precedent is the friendly match held between both squads, on March 26 at the National Stadium of Nicaragua, when the Cubans won by the minimum, thanks to Maykel Reyes’ solitary goal.
The other two matches will be equally complicated against an opponent that knows what it is like to play in a Fifa World Cup: Trinidad and Tobago, who did so in Germany 2006.
The Cubans will receive the Soca Warriors on October 10, a duel that will be repeated at the Hasely Crawford National Stadium, in Port of Spain, on the 14th of the same month.
The Tricolor’s objective is set on maintaining its permanence at the highest level of the area’s League of Nations, in addition to advancing towards the 2025 United States Gold Cup, for which it will have to face a demanding classification system.
Cuba was placed in group B of this edition of the competition, which also includes the teams of Honduras and French Guiana. According to their results, two will descend to the intermediate level.
In the previous year, permanence at level A was achieved, an unprecedented milestone in the history of this competition. Achieving it for the third consecutive year seems like a rigorous goal, although in this case complexity does not become synonymous with impossibility.
