(PLTM) - The BVI Football Association (BVIFA) is taking full advantage of the latest FIFA International Football window by holding a training camp at Bisham Abbey, England, under the watchful eyes of Head Coach, Chris Kiwomya.
Despite COVID-19 continuing to cause travel and availability issues for the BVI, a strong squad has been assembled at the iconic base for the likes of international teams and top-flight clubs ahead of games and cup finals at Wembley as well as many other elite sports teams, Bisham Abbey, in the heart of Buckinghamshire, UK.
“The Camp is another step in the development of the Men's National Team as we work towards the Concacaf Nations League which commences in June” noted FA President Andy Bickerton.
He added, “It provides another opportunity for our young players to learn from our National Coach, Chris Kiwomya, and understanding the patterns of play he is introducing plus his personal expectations of them.”
Apart from the weeklong training camp, a highlight will be a friendly game against Anguilla, as both Nations have numerous players playing football across Europe at semi-pro and full professional levels.
That game is scheduled for Thursday 27th January at Bisham Abbey. Several players in the BVI were selected, but unavailable this time around including the likes of Sheldon Toney, Kalani and Denvin Jones, Justin Smith, Luca Reich, Liam Blok, Alejandro Santos, Leo Forte and Gethin Jones.
