Does anyone know when specifically the next Digicel Caribbean Championships is/starts?
-
No announcement yet.
But using the Gold Cup, which will be held sometime in 2011, the Caribbean Cup which is the qualifier, will most likely be sometime in 2010.
Olympic Qualifying should also start sometime in 2010 I think.

Thanks for your reply Trini

HAHA You got jokes.
Grenada is ranked higher than Antigua in the FIFA rankings after making their 1st ever Gold Cup appearance earlier this year so I think he'll try and get rejected to represent them first before looking at Antigua! :D

Listen if the brother look good for Antigua/ Grenada in the Digecil Cup who knows maybe W/Connection will employ him or Jablothe. He just might turn out to be the next MEMum.

Any Info on CNC ?

You can find some of the dates here
http://www.caribbeanfootballunion.org/cms2/images/stories/09docs/2010calendar.pdf
My guess is that T&T won't be in until late summer or fall, though I could be wrong after the poor performance last year.

Same to you :)
I don't think we can log in to the CFU site. If you look at this old thread on BigSoccer, most information seems to come out 3-4 months before the tournament so my guess is we should start to get some information in November or December. I think it is unfortunately that they have not chosen FIFA dates for the tournament as none of the overseas based players will be able to play for the most part.

No problem.
Judging by the calendar, the competition will be different this year. My guess is that Jamaica and maybe Grenada will get a bye to the final round while the weakest teams (if they actually enter, last tournament did not have a great turn out) will play in the knockout stages. That leaves T&T in Group A, B, C, or D and starting between late July and early September.

Resource constraints are obviously the major reason why only a few countries host the tournament.
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3024/3085623345_ce1bfdf05d_o.jpg)
Just look at the 'bench' used in one of T&T's games during the last tournament held in Jamaica . The field was horrible too.

Yes, the game was played in Montego Bay and of course Jamaica only use The Office for Qualifiers.
Only Barbados, Jamaica, and T&T have hosted the tournament by themselves. Antigua/Barbuda and Saint Kitts/Nevis once joint hosted it and the Cayman Islands joint hosted with Jamaica but other wise every tournament has been in on the aforementioned three, once with Jamaica and T&T as joint host. When Barbados hosted all the matches were played in one place.

People am asking why cant Guadeloupe or Martinique host the cup in 2010 ?,
anyone hear any rumour as to which island is going to host the cup in 2010 ?
the CFU site have no details .

I think if Guadeloupe or martinique host the cup ,the french Government will help
out in finances . Remember both isl..... r part of France .

I'm fairly sure Martinique has held the final stage of tournament in the past (mid 90's I think). They have definitely hosted qualifying groups in the past. Not sure they could host it in its current format though. Only T&T and Jamaica have the existing infrastructure to easily host the current format. The rest including Cuba only really have one main football venue so unless the CFU happy revert back to the old format of a single group of 4 and to allow them to do what Barbados did (play all games in one ground) they would have to fork out a decent bit of cash to bring another venue up to scratch. I guess it would be easier for the french islands to co-host, problem is; do they actually want to and are you sure the French government would help if they did?

Martinique won the tournament in the mid 90s , no french speaking island have never
held the final stage of the Tournament ,for reference please visit...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribbean_Cup
I think its about time either Guadeloupe or Martinique host the Tournament .
Even if they did what Barbados did and play all the games on one ground ,
thus having a group of 4 for the final stage .Yes rodney ,am sure the french
Government will help.

How all yuh so sure the french gov't go sponsor this tournament. Mart. and Guada. have been playing in this tournament for years.They are no strangers. You would think that one or both would have bid to host. But aye aye.... what shit I talking.... there is always a caveat. Jack

In France and all its departments the Goverment monitors almost everything ,the french
have a socialist Government or partly socialisit 50-50 , If CFU put it to guadeloupe or
martinique to host the cup , some of the funding will no doubt come from there goverment. :angel:
that is if they accept ,the caribbean is not just english ,we have french ,spanish and dutch
speaking islands its about time we let another isl... outside the english speaking islands host
it.
-
We know all of that. It just up to them to ask Jack to host the tournament. It long over due. Both Quada and Mart can host a group of 4 each. I don't know who will host the final. Probable Quada. since they were in the most recent GC. But yes, it is time it goes to the other islands step up to host the tournament. I hope it is not in TT. I don't think the people home have football on their minds now after the disappointing Hex.

JA host the cup last year and less than a 1000 people shows up for the final .
guadeloupe & matinique not going to ask , Jack Warner have to put it to them .
-
I don't buy into this kinda tokenism. "Give it to a francophone country because they never hosted one" What nonsense ! The tournament should be played where the infrastructure exists. I don't necessary mean 'big stadium'. I mean decent training grounds, venues with decent playing fields and facilities for teams , spectators and media . Furthermore it is the prerogative of the local FA to approach the CFU if they are interested in hosting the Caribbean Cup.

I have to say the answer to that question elludes me too. The turn-out for these matches are abyssmal. No marketing whatsoever. ::)

Unfortunately, I don't think Haiti will get it any time soon. Digicel will put the tournament in markets where they can advertise their product and make a profit. Haiti is the poorest country in the world and I'm sure the majority of Haitians have more important things to spend money on than cellphones and footy tickets.
Guadeloupe and Martinique have hosted numerous group stages and as was mentioned before are a part of France so I'm sure they could host the final stage.

Digicel doing real good business in Haiti, and I'm willing to bet they go pull more crowds than we do in the Hasely.

Thats good to hear, Haiti is by far the biggest footballing country population-wise in the Caribbean (the biggest in population is Cuba, 1 million more than Haiti, but they prefer baseball and may have trouble hosting anyway) so there would certainly be a market there.

TheWorm ,I agree & Disagree with you . Haiti maybe the poorest nation in the western hemisphere
but in 2007 when they host the Olympic Qualifiers with themselves ,Jamaica and Bahamas
thousands of people went and see the games .Digicel is doing good business in Haiti and
the country is stable now more than ever . I agree ,Guadeluope or Martinique are capable to
host the tournament also.

I definitely agree with this. Haitians are really passionate for the ball these days and since they are reigning champs it would be good for the country and the region as well.

Jamaica are the reigning champs. I'm all for Haiti hosting the Final Stage I just don't think it will happen.

I have the tape of the Final at home....yes, by Ja standards, the turn-out was poor, but it was more like 6000 fans in teh stadium as opposed to the 1000 you described. i'll look at the tape agaian tonight and reportt back on a more accurate figure.

Kingston National Stadium was built to hold 30,000+ fans ,6000 fans showing am sure a loss was
reflected on the balance sheet of the JFF to host the Tournament .

Just look at the 'bench' used in one of T&T's games during the last tournament held in Jamaica . The field was horrible too.
There are less than 5 football facilities in Jamaica that has amenities such as lights and proper seating facilities. The reason for this is that it is entirely up to the clubs to maintain and provide such facilities. Harbour View, PMU, and Arnette have done well in this area, and other clubs are following suite. The three major facilities in teh island that have adequate facilities (National stadium, Sabina Park, Greenfield Stadium) are not used for club games.
Slightly different in T&T, where clubs get to use utilize state owned facilities for games.

Grenada and Barbados conspiracy work against T&T , we from JA wanted that to happen(ja vTNT) .
Am still praying to the soccer gods to let TnT & Jamaica in the same Group for World cup Qualifiers
2014 . I think it can happen because of Jack Warner match fixing habits . ;D

they leave you with a beautiful country .

Yes,
TT are indeed fortunate having these stdiums. They are fairly well maintain. The playing surfaces can be a problem at times. Both pro-leaugue, some lower league and high school play at these stadiums during the football season which is also the rainy season. So the fields get overworked. I don't know how good those grounds men are, but I have heard complains that the fields are not up to standards sometimes. The gov't(as usual) should invest in turf-field for the secondary and community, village grounds. That will allow maximim usage and ease up on the stadiums with grass surfaces.

The tournament will be in Martinique
http://www.antilles-sport.com/news/default.asp
La Martinique organisera la phase finale de la Digicel Cup en fin d’année 2010. La décision a été prise ce week-end lors du congrès de l’UFC à Trinidad. La Martinique était en concurrence avec Barbade et la Guadeloupe. Son savoir faire avec l’organisation, notamment du match internationnal France / Costa Rica en 2005, a été mis en avant par les représentants de la ligue de Martinique présents à Trinidad.
La phase finale devrait se dérouler en novembre ou décembre avec la participation de 8 équipes. La Martinique et la Jamaïque sont qualifiées d’office et seront tête de série des 2 poules de 4.
