Representing the Bahamas- Are YOU eligible?

We at the BFA are always seeking ways to strengthen the international standing of Bahamian Soccer. We have a proud record of helping young talent through from the school field all the way through to fully representing The Bahamas at international level. However, we are also sensitive to the fact that, in keeping with the historical trends across the Caribbean as a whole, we have a huge number of first and second generation citizens living abroad, particularly in North America and Europe. We don’t want to ignore the pool of talent that lays in this Bahamian Diaspora across the world.

If you are Bahamian born- or the family members of Bahamian citizens- and living abroad and feel you have what it takes to represent our country, we ask you to get in touch.  Similarly we also realise that there are many nationalities from across the world living in our country as Naturalized Citizens. If you or indeed your parents fall into this category, this may also make you eligible to turn out for The Bahamas. Representing your country in any sport is a rare honour indeed and if you have the talent and the required connection to us, you may be surprised and delighted to find yourself eligible to wear the shirt.

We are a small country, but we believe we are really going places as a football nation and as such we want as many talented people with Bahamian connections on board as soon as possible. If you believe that you fit the bill, please send us a brief e-mail outlining the reasons you consider yourself eligible.  We’ll get back to you and be in touch if any further proof is required. For any further information and indeed for a clear guide as to exactly what criteria has to be met to play for our country, please contact us on info@bahamasfa.com .
