The Dominica team will play against the Antigua and Barbuda Football Association on September 7, 2024, in the first week of the CONCACAF Nations League 2024–2025 at the ABFA technical centre. September 10, 2024, is the scheduled date of the second match, where Dominica will play against the Dominican Republic.
Dominica is in League B, alongside the Dominican Republic, Bermuda, and Antigua and Barbuda. This group promises to be competitive and have an aggressive playing style. The stakes are high, as teams that do not qualify will be demoted to League C. This puts a lot of pressure on all the teams competing, and they will not face off to win promotion but to avoid slipping into League C.
Forty-one men’s senior national teams from across the Confederation are set to start a heated competition in the 2024/25 CONCACAF Nations League, an international association competition. The tournament will be held over the next seven months with games to take place within FIFA Match Windows, beginning with a group stage in September, October and November 2024 and will end with the Nations League Finals in March 2025
The 2024 / 25 CONCACAF Nations League is divided into parts:
League A: Twelve teams in the top division were divided into two groups of six. The top two teams go to the Finals in a Swiftly tournament format, while the losing teams are sent to League B. The group winners proceed to the Finals of the tournament.
League B: With 16 teams in four groups of four. Each team plays six matches using round robin, with group winners promoted to League A and last-place teams relegated to League C. Each team in League B will face their opponents twice, with the top team in each group earning promotion to League A, representing the highest level of competition in the 2024/25 CONCACAF Nations League.
League C: The lowest tier with 13 teams in three groups. Group winners are promoted to League B.
Dominica will aim to secure a promotion by giving a solid performance to ensure their status in League B. This will also motivate the players and the coaching authorities for qualifying the 2025 CONCACAF GOLD CUP. Many fans from the nation are putting hope on the team’s shoulders.
The next few games will be the ones that count, while Dominica will give their best learnt from the extensive training sessions for upcoming games. Fans will look forward as they look to make a mark in one of the biggest regional tournaments.
There will also be a second qualification route for the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup. CONCACAF 2024/25 still needs to disclose the precise requirements for Gold Cup qualification.
