Trying to get caught up with some of the games that I have covered in the past, this one is from the CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament a while back.
The Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) is the governing body for soccer (football) in the region, and one of six continental authorities that administer the game along with FIFA, the world governing body…… CONCACAF organizes tournaments on a four-year cycle for clubs and national teams throughout the region. This includes qualifying tournaments (also the regional championships) for the FIFA World Cup, the FIFA Women’s World Cup, FIFA tournaments at under-17, under-20 and under-23 youth levels as well as the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup and the FIFA Futsal World Cup.
I was asked to cover a section which held Jamaica and Grenada, with the best teams in the group advancing onto the finals. The game wasn’t as exciting as my other matches I shot this summer, but was a good warm up session. Jamaica ended the game with a final score of 4-0, so a very single sided affair.
