ST JOHN’S, Antigua (CMC) – The start of the Caribbean Cup has been pushed back by a day, organisers announced Thursday.

In a statement, the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) said it had made the decision as a result of a request from some teams.
The tournament, the Caribbean’s premier football competition, will now begin November 11 and finish on the 18.
“Following the request of at least three participating member associations and the support of several other participating member associations, the CFU Executive Committee has been considering the delay of the Final Round of the CFU Caribbean Cup by one day,” the release said.
“Today, the CFU president and executive committee decided to change the dates of the CFU Caribbean.”
The release did not indicate the reason behind the teams’ request for the date change.
Trinidad and Tobago, the 2012 losing finalists, will raise the curtain on the tournament when they face Curacao in the first game, with title-holders Cuba clashing with French Guiana in the feature game.
