Local football in a promising place

Barbados under-17 football head coach Marlon Harte believes the future of Barbadian football is exciting following his team’s second-place finish in Group A of the Under-17 World Cup Qualifiers.

Speaking at Grantley Adams International Airport yesterday morning, Harte expressed optimism about the direction of the local game, despite Barbados narrowly missing out on qualification for the FIFA Under-17 World Cup, which will be hosted in Qatar this November.

“I think it’s an exciting time for our football,” Harte began.
