The Barbados Olympic Association’s (BOA) Independence Invitational Games (BIIG) are likely to be expanded next year to the regional front.

Chairman of the organising committee, Lieutenant-Colonel Trevor Browne, told MIDWEEK SPORT that the meet which was launched last year, could be the forerunner to a 2018 Caribbean Games.

“These Games have tremendous possibilities and are already making a difference to the local landscape and we are working to take it to the next level in 2018 and that is to broaden it to the regional Games.

“I am really pleased that about 30 of the 36 national federations affiliated to the BOA are on board. I am excited about the future of these Games. (MK)
