ST Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) will play a second consecutive home match away from home, with their upcoming CONCACAF World Cup qualifier against Cuba booked for the Kirani James Athletics Stadium in Grenada.
The match was originally scheduled for the Arnos Vale Stadium for June 8. However, existing protocols, including quarantine, mean that it would not be possible for the country to host the event. The match is set to kick off at 16:00hrs. The SVG versus Cuba encounter will precede the Grenada against Montserrat, which takes place at 19:00hrs. Prior to this round, SVG played a home ‘match’ against the British Virgin Islands at the Ergillo Hato Stadium in Willemstad, Curacao. The Vincy Heat emerged 3-0 winners from the match. The team is just one of several who will see their fixtures altered as countries around the region continue to battle the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Other teams expected to be playing their upcoming home matches away are Aruba, the British Virgin Islands, Barbados, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Cuba, Montserrat, Trinidad and Tobago, Canada, Anguilla, and Puerto Rico.
With two matches played in the first round of the qualifiers, SVG are currently third in Group C behind Curaçao and second place Guatemala. (Sportsmax)
