The Bahamas’ senior men’s national soccer team is gearing up for the start of the CONCACAF (Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football) Nations League Group C Qualifying next month.

In its first match, The Bahamas will take on Bonaire. That match is set for Monday, September 9, starting at 6 p.m. at the Thomas A. Robinson Stadium. Both nations are lowly ranked in the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Rankings, and will be looking for world ranking points.

The CONCACAF Nations League began with a one-off qualifying phase. Following 68 matches, the 34 participating teams were compiled into an aggregate table, ranking them 1-34. The final standings of each team determined if they were placed into League A, B or C. The six teams that participated in the Hexagonal Round of the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers Russia 2018 were pre-seeded directly into League A.
