In the midst of Saturday’s 2006 World Cup qualifier between this country and Panama in Panama City, plans are underway for the staging of a bumper pre-match cultural show ahead of this country’s follow up qualifier against Mexico next Wednesday.
The match could turn out to be one of the most anticipated in the country since the 1989 November 19 against the USA as a positive result following a win over Panama will push T&T closed to the 2006 World Cup.
And to make the occasion one to remember, the National Carnival Commission has joined the 2006 Local Organizing Committee to produce the show.
The entertainment segment begins at 5:15 and will include performances from Sagicor Exodus, Shiv Shakti Dancers, TSTT Dancers, Woodbrook Playboyz and Soca Stars Maximus Dan and Destra as well as Denyse Plummer.
The tassa drummers will be positioned outside the Stadium to welcome the fans into the venue. The Stadium and environs will also be a clean zone and parking inside the venue will be restricted. FIFA has also appointed a security officer, David Sabir, General Secretary of the Bermuda Football Association, to ensure that all measures are in place for the match.
