WE WILL NOT support it!

That is the stance of the Barbados Football Association (BFA) on the Islands Cup Open 2017, a Caribbean professional tournament.

“We have made a decision that we are not going to sanction [the tournament],” BFA president Randy Harris said in an exclusive interview with MIDWEEK SPORT yesterday.

“Any professional competition like that has to be sanctioned by CONCACAF and the CFU (Caribbean Football Union), and I have not seen anything to indicate that they were applied to and they have been given the necessary permission.” (RA)
