Road to 2008 Olympic Games begin for CONCACAF this month

3.8.07 - CONCACAF’s road to 2008 Olympic Games begins next month as the Preliminary Qualification to the Men’s Under-23 Tournament commence in the Caribbean.

Twenty-two Caribbean nations have been placed in six groups for the first round qualification. Aruba, Bahamas, Cuba, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Vincent & The Grenadines and Trinidad & Tobago will each host a Caribbean First Round Group that will run from 31 August – 13 September 2007.

The six group winners will advance to the second round that consist of two three-team groups scheduled for October 2007. The top finishers in each triangular group will progress to the 2008 CONCACAF U-23 Final Round Tournament.

Elsewhere, the Men’s U-23 Central American Preliminary Qualification will have two groups of three with Panama hosting El Salvador and Honduras from 7-11 November, while Guatemala stages Costa Rica and Nicaragua from 14-18 November.

The winners of each triangular will advance to the CONCACAF Men’s U-23 Tournament along with two Caribbean teams, Canada, Mexico and USA with venue and dates to be announced. The two second-place finishers from each Central American Triangular will meet in a home-and-away playoff series with the winner also progressing to the CONCACAF Final Round, where two teams will qualify to the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China.
