Nassau, Bahamas – The Bahamas Football Association is thrilled to announce the participation of our National Under-13 Boys and Girls teams in the upcoming 2024 Naples Elite Cup, scheduled to take place in Naples, Florida, on August 24-25, 2024. The teams, comprising 18 boys and 17 girls, will travel to Naples on August 23 and return on August 26.
The U13 squads have been diligently training since March 2024, preparing for this prestigious competition. The Naples Elite Cup will provide an excellent opportunity for our young athletes to showcase their skills, compete against top-tier teams, and gain invaluable experience in a competitive environment.
The tournament will see each team play three matches between August 24 and 25, with the possibility of advancing to the finals. This experience will not only allow our players to test their abilities against their peers but also enable the coaching staff to assess their progress and identify areas for improvement as they continue their development.
Bruce Swan, Technical Director of the Bahamas Football Association, expressed his excitement about the teams’ participation: “This tournament is an incredible opportunity for our young players and coaches to experience international competition. It’s a crucial part of their development and exposure, and I’m confident they will make the most of it.”
