CFU Newsletter APRIL 2019 ENGLISH Version KEEPING IN THE LOOP APRIL 2019 Bermuda’s footballers celebrate advancing to the Concacaf Gold Cup for the first time CFU President Randolph Harris (center) and Second Vice-President Rignaal Francisca (left) presented the hardware to the victorious 2019 Concacaf Caribbean Club Shield winners SV Robinhood SV ROBINHOOD ARE 2019 CARIBBEAN CLUB SHIELD CHAMPS Robinhood of Suriname edged defending champions Club Franciscain of Martinique 1-0 in the final of the 2019 Concacaf Caribbean Club Shield played on April 15 at the Ergilio Hato Stadium in Willemstad, Curacao. Robinhood’s Alan Lucas Cirilo Da Costa scored a powerful 18-yard shot in minute 21 to secure the win for Suriname. The victory saw Robinhood advancing to a play-off in which it will face the fourth-place team from the 2019 Concacaf Caribbean Club Championship. The winner of that match advances to the 2019 Scotiabank Concacaf League. SV Robinhood has a proud and decorated history. During the club’s heyday, which spanned 1972 to 1983, they won six domestic titles and were runners-up at five Concacaf championships. Among the people witnessing the final were the members of the CFU Executive Committee, which held a meeting in Curacao on April 16. JAMAICA REGGAE BOYZ VS. USA Jamaica’s senior men’s team, Reggae Boyz, will play the US Men’s National Team in a friendly international in Washington, DC on June 5. The teams will play the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup warm-up match at the Audi Field starting at 7 pm ET. A USA vs Jamaica friendly is not only a major fan attraction game but excellent preparation for the two teams. It is also a rematch of the 2017 Gold Cup final. Jamaica’s Coach Theodore Whitmore said the encounter will help his team’s preparation. “It’s an excellent game to assess the quality of the squad assembled. Further, the timing is good—12 days before our first game in the tournament and the opponent is perfect; it’s now down to fine-tuning all aspects of the preparation and that is what we are currently doing,” Whitmore said. The US coach, Gregg Berhalter, echoed the sentiments. “As we prepare for the start of the Gold Cup, this is the perfect opportunity in terms of opponent and venue. “Playing against Jamaica, we get exposure to a different style of play and one that we may see later in the tournament.” The Reggae Boyz are in Group C for the tournament alongside Curacao, Honduras and El Salvador. They will begin their campaign at home against Honduras. The US will begin the hunt for a record-tying seventh confederation title when they face Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago and Panama in Group D. BON VOYAGE FOR REGGAE GIRLZ The Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) is counting on the country to rally behind the Reggae Girlz in their final game in Jamaica ahead of their historic 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup campaign. The Reggae Girlz will face Panama on May 19 at the National Stadium, starting at 6 pm. TURKS AND CAICOS FA CELEBRATE COLLEGE GRAD The Turks and Caicos Islands Football Association (TCIFA) is celebrating senior national and beach soccer player Herby Magny, who graduated, on April 14, from Providence University College of Manitoba Canada with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Administration and a minor in Biblical Studies. Magny joined the TCIFA grassroots programme over 12 years ago and has been a fixture on the league and national scene since. The graduate thanked his family for their sacrifice and support, and he also thanked TCIFA President Sonia Fulford and General Secretary Oliver Smith, whom he said made significant contribution to his football development and his education. President Fulford hailed Magny another TCIFA success story. She said he used “football along with (his) own passion for education, to make life better for (himself) and (his) families whilst always recognizing the role we at the TCIFA played in helping them on this path. We celebrate his success and wish him all the best.” The 21-year-old, who will soon pursue and MBA, will appear for the TCI national teams in the 2019-2020 Concacaf Nations League, and the 2019 Concacaf Beach Soccer World Cup Herby Magny Qualifiers in Mexico.

  • Concacaf Club Index 2021
    Concacaf Club Index 2021 CONCACAF CLUB INDEX 2021 The draw for the 2021 Scotiabank Concacaf League is set for June 16th and Concacaf has now unveiled the slot allocation ranking for positioning in the Scotiabank Concacaf League (SCL) draw. The allocation ranking has determined the seeding of clubs for the upcoming edition of the SCL. Clubs qualify for the Scotiabank Concacaf League based on criteria set by the respective Member Associations (i.e. tournament champion, runner-up, Cup champion, etc.). The specific method of qualification for each club results in an assigned slot to each qualified club (i.e. CRC 2, CRC 3, etc.), which is used as the basis for the draw’s seeding. The system does not rank individual clubs. It is based on the on-field performance of the various clubs of the same Member Association that have occupied those respective qualifying slots. For example, each year Nicaragua qualifies two clubs to the Scotiabank Concacaf League. Per the competition regulations, the 2020 Apertura or 2021 Clausura champion with the most accumulated points in the 2020-21 season will be assigned slot NCA1. The total points awarded to NCA1 (shown in the table below) are not those obtained by a single Nicaraguan club in previous appearances, but rather those obtained by the last five Nicaraguan clubs that qualified as NCA1 To determine the total points awarded to a Member Association’s slot(s) (i.e. NCA1) in any single edition of the Scotiabank Concacaf League, Concacaf utilizes the following formula: 2 points for 0.5 Point per 1 Point for

He had previously represented Cruzeiro, Barcelona, Benfica and the Brazilian national side in the 2000 Sydney Olympics and 2001 Copa America tournaments. Geovanni wrote himself into Hull City’s history by scoring the Tigers’ first Premier League goal; a spectacular long range strike to equalise against Fulham in a 2-1 win. He is though, better remembered for another sublime goal from distance scored against Arsenal in another 2-1 victory. In total Geovanni made 65 appearances for the Tigers, scoring 13 goals. #TigerRags Supported by Hull UK City of Culture 2017 Cabinet 1 JAN VENNEGOOR OF HESSELINK (right) (Netherlands) 2009/2010 away shirt Number 29, worn by Vennegoor of Hesselink during the 2009/2010 campaign The Dutchman with the very long name joined Hull City in September 2009 after three seasons playing in Scotland with Celtic.

With City for just one season, he made 33 appearances, 14 as substitute, scoring 3 goals. At first, full size lettering was used on his shirts, encircling the number, but smaller letters were later used.

    Indy Eleven Match Notes #TULvIND CENTRAL DIVISION STANDINGS - AT - (4W-6L-4D) (6W-7L-1D) Indy Eleven at FC Tulsa Date/Time: Wednesday, August 4 at 8:00 p.m. ET Location: ONEOK Field | Tulsa, Okla. Local/National broadcast: MyINDY-TV 23 Streaming video: ESPN+ Radio (Spanish): N/A In-Game Updates: Twitter.com/IndyElevenLive Match Official: Elvis Osmanovic AR1: Seth Barton AR2: Truman Berghall Fourth Official: Jay Norris MATCH PREVIEW The Boys in Blue come into a midweek matchup with FC Tulsa after a welcome 10-day break from USL Championship action. Indy rolls into Tulsa after a heart- breaking loss to Birmingham Legion FC on July 24, which saw the squad concede at Carroll Stadium in the 91st minute. The Eleven went down in the 54th minute LAST FIVE MATCHES: (0W-2L-3D) on the back of a Prosper Kasim goal, but did well to rally, equalizing in the 77th when Jordan Hamilton fired the ball off of Phanuel Kavita and into the goal (this INJURY REPORT was eventually deemed a Birmingham own goal). Indy went for the victory with several attempts on goal in the dying minutes of the match, but a Birmingham counterattack ending with a Jonathan Dean strike proved decisive. N/A Something Indiana’s Team can build on going into Wednesday’s tilt is its knack for distributing the ball efficiently. The Boys in Blue have made a total of 6,363 passes this season; and if that seems like a lot, that’s because it is. Not only does Indy keep the ball moving often – an average of 454.5 passes per game – but they’re doing it at an effective rate as well, completing 80% of their passes, good enough to put them in a three-way tie for ninth place across the Championship (with Las Vegas Lights FC and Tacoma Defiance).
