Coach Michael Findlay said, "The continuation of the Bermuda Select Invitational plays a crucial role in our long-term strategy for the Senior Men's National Team. It provides our technical staff with a valuable opportunity to evaluate and assess our domestically based players within a competitive training and match environment. This allows us to gauge their overall mentality, competency, and suitability for future senior men's selection, ensuring they meet the required standard for international competition."
"Since my arrival, a key goal has been to expand our player pool and expose as many players as possible to professional and international-level competition. This domestic camp and the matches it will offer provide the necessary physical, mental, and tactical challenges. This experience not only prepares them better for potential future selection but also encourages them to commit to the high-performance lifestyle we emphasize within the senior men's program, whether they are domestically based or playing abroad. This commitment is essential for our continued success on the international stage.
