The Cayman Islands Boys Under-15 National Football Team departs tomorrow for Aruba to compete in the 2025 Concacaf Boys’ Under-15 Championship.
Cayman is set to play Puerto Rico, Cuba and Guyana in Group C of the competition. It kicks off play at 10 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 4 versus Puerto Rico before taking on Cuba on Tuesday, Aug. 5 and Guyana on Wednesday, Aug. 6.
The tournament format divides the 39 participating teams into three leagues (League A, League B and League C) based on their Concacaf Men’s U-17 Ranking as of February 20 2025.
“One of the proudest moments that we have is that we were promoted to League B due to the work that we’ve been doing at the youth level,” Head Coach Claudio Garcia said. “I’m really proud of the achievement. Slowly, we are developing our football in Cayman.”
Players include:
| Ajani Osborne | William Kirksey | Stephen Mason | Jahari Reid | John Marc Thomas |
| Jaidon Harding | Luke Watson | Oscar Shakespeare | Cameron Murray | Noah Mitten |
| Charles Morrison | Basil Scott Jr | Ra’jon Boothe | Christian Bonner | Levi Jack |
| Seth Maldonado-Ebanks | Kymani Parsons | Calum Whiteside |
Garcia, who has worked with this group for more than two years, said the team is focused and ready to represent the country with pride and purpose.
“These boys are working very hard,” he said. “We’re going with the right expectations and a strong mindset to compete. This is like a family, and I’m proud of the way they’ve grown —both as athletes and as individuals.”
The 2025 Concacaf Boys’ U-15 Championship begins on August 2, with the fifth edition of the competition featuring a record 38 Concacaf Member Associations, as well as one guest participant. The four group winners in League B will advance to the Semifinals. The remaining teams will have one additional match to determine their final position in the competition.
The Concacaf Boys’ U-15 Championship was most recently held in 2023, with League A and C matches played in the Dominican Republic and League B hosted by Curaçao. In League A, the United States secured the title with a 4-2 win over Mexico in the final. Nicaragua captured the League B crown with a narrow 2-1 victory over Saint Lucia, while Saint Martin triumphed in League C, defeating Saint Vincent and the Grenadines 4-1 in the final.
