Correspondence overview

The Bahamas have entered the qualifications of the Concacaf aimed at ensuring their very first participation during a World Cup tournament, but their dream has already ended.

They progressed directly to the second round of qualifying as the highest part of the Concacaf in the FIFA ranking, seated at 202nd in the general classification, closely six places above the Turks and Caicos, which had to participate in a first round of the qualifying series.

Taken in group B alongside Saint Kitts and Nevis, Granada, Trinidad and Tobago and Costa Rica, the Bahamas have lost their three games so far, leaving them at the bottom of the table and already unable to qualify for the 2026 competition.

Nesley JeanThe team suffered a 7-1 defeat against Trinidad and Tobago in their opening match, followed by a 1-0 defeat against Saint Kitts and the two and a 6-0 defeat against the Trois Grenada, leaving them behind Trinidad and Tobago placed by four points with a single match to play.

Although they are now unable to qualify for the World Cup, the Bahamas will aim to avoid a lamentable qualification campaign of four defeats of four, but they should face their most difficult test to date.

The Costa Rica expected to be emerged as the favorites to obtain first place in group B, seated at the top of the table with two victories of their two games-beating Saint Kitts and Nevis 4-0 and the Granada 3-0.

Gustavo Alfaro, director at the time of these victories, has since left the management role, with Claudio Vivas briefly in charge before the current manager Miguel Herrera took the reins at the start of this year.

Herrera won two and lost two of her first four games in charge of the country, although the new boss is undefeated in competitive action, the two defeats coming to international friendly matches against the United States and the Catalunya.

Back at the Concacaf World Cup qualify for the first time since June 2024, the Costa Rica will now focus on the guarantee of a victory against the Bahamas, with three points of their last two matches which should be enough to confirm their Top two status.
