A group of 22 soccer players from across the region including Bermuda's Mazhye Burchall has a shot at a golden ticket early next year – a Major League Soccer contract.
The almost two dozen players have been invited to participate in the 2018 MLS Caribbean Combine, which will take place from Jan. 9-11 at the Sawgrass Hotel and Suites Sports Complex in Fort Lauderdale.
Players will compete in front of scouts for three days for the potential to be signed directly by an MLS club during an upcoming transfer window.
The Caribbean Combine will lead into the 2018 adidas MLS Player Combine, which will be held from Jan. 11-17 in Orlando. Both Combines will be followed by the 2018 MLS SuperDraft presented by adidas on Jan. 19th in Philadelphia.
The full list of Caribbean Combine invitees are:
