Montserrat’s Under-20 team heads to Nicaragua on Thursday for qualifying matches. They are one of 17 teams beginning their quest to reach this summer’s 2020 CONCACAF Men’s Under-20 Championship in Honduras.

At stake is not only a spot in the Under-20 Championship, but a place in the Round of 16 of the tournament, with the ultimate goal of qualifying for the 2021 FIFA Under-20 World Cup in Indonesia.

Under-20 Championship Qualifying will see the 17 teams split up between four groups, beginning with Group A in which Nicaragua will host Guyana, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Montserrat and the U.S. Virgin Islands at the Nicaragua National Football Stadium in Managua.
