Barbados, Belize, Saint Kitts and Nevis out to guard group leads in League C | OneFootball

MIAMI – The 2024/25 Concacaf Nations League resumes on Wednesday, as nine teams in League C continue their efforts towards promotion in the tournament's fourth edition.

Barbados, Belize and Saint Kitts and Nevis emerged as the group leaders after the September fixtures. Each will seek to add to their lead and seal a move up to League B for the following edition.

Additionally, the tournament will help to decide berths for the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup.

Group A

Barbados leads Group A with six points after back-to-back wins in September. The Bahamas and the US Virgin Islands are even on one point apiece after drawing 3-3 in their opening encounter.

With a win against the U.S. Virgin Islands, Barbados can seal the top spot and promotion to League B. Niall Reid-Stephen leads the scoring for Barbados after scoring a brace in the most recent win.

The USVI could jump back into the race with a victory against Barbados. The island is searching for its first victory of the campaign. Naqwan Henry, Rakeem Joseph and Gabriel Catone-Highfield each have one goal for the nation.

The Bahamas is also searching for its first victory of the season. Brandon Adderley leads the nation with three goals in the current campaign.

Group B

Belize leads Group B after consecutive wins in September. Goalkeeper Charles Tillett and his defense have yet to concede after collecting two clean sheets. Jordy Polanco leads the Central American country with three goals.

Anguilla narrowly lost to Belize, 1-ni, in the previous encounter but can tie for the top of the group with a victory in the rematch against the current leaders. Germain Hughes and Lamar Carpenter have scored a goal each.

Turks and Caicos Islands will seek its first victory after consecutive losses to start its campaign. The nation can only finish first in the group on tiebreakers, if every team finishes on six points.

Group C

Saint Kitts and Nevis rose to the top of Group C due in part to back-to-back braces from Tiquanny Williams. Julani Archibald earned a clean sheet in the team’s match against the British Virgin Islands.

The British Virgin Islands will seek to gain its first victory of the 2024/25 edition and make a run for the top spot in the process. The nation will also aim to end a goalless drought in two matches.

The Cayman Islands will seek to make a play for the top of the group with consecutive victories to end the group stage. Elijah Seymour and Mason Duval lead the nation in scoring with one each.

At the end of the Group Stage in October, the three group winners and the best second-place finisher will advance to the 2024 CNL Play-In. The CNL Play-In will take place in November 2024, with further details to be announced at a later date.
