A team of four referees – Jaden Rouse, Mario Parry, Sanchez Bass, and Hakeem Harvey, from St Kitts and Nevis were appointed to officiate the CONCACAF U-17 Qualifiers in Costa Rica, which started earlier this week.
Moreover, the St Kitts and Nevis Football Association has been continuously working to develop and promote football in the twin island nation, and the successful appointment of the four referees is an indicator of their success.
CONCACAF U-17 Qualifiers
CONCACAF U-17 Qualifiers is an international football event in North America, Central America, and the Caribbean region. It is the qualification tournament for the FIFA U-17 World Cup.
The first CONCACAF U-17 Qualifiers were held in 1991 in Trinidad and Tobago, with Mexico winning the tournament, followed by US, Cuba, and Trinidad and Tobago.
The previous tournament took place in 2023 in Guatemala, with Mexico taking the trophy home. The United States took second place while Canada and Panama took the third place.
This year, CONCACAF U-17 Qualifiers will be held in Costa Rica, from February 8th to February 17th, 2025, with 35 participating Member Associations, divided across eight groups, from Group A to Group H. Each team will be competing against the teams in their groups at least once.
