Football: the Pelicans are promoted to League B
At the end of 18 days of competition in Saint Croix, in the US Virgin Islands, the Saint Martin team finished top of Group C in the CONCACAF Nations League and secured promotion to League B.
Last Tuesday at the Bethlehem Soccer Complex in Sainte-Croix, the Pelicans finished in style with a 6–0 victory over the Bahamas. Having scored 19 goals in four matches, Saint Martin also finished with the best attacking record in the group. For the Pelicans, the next fixture is now in November, with the preliminary qualifying rounds for the 2027 Gold Cup against El Salvador, a team competing in League A. A further major challenge therefore awaits Jean-Claude Darcheville’s men, with a place in the next round of Gold Cup qualifiers at stake.
The Pelicans have also secured their place in the CONCACAF Nations League C Championship, which will take place in March 2027 and bring together the best teams from League C. Saint Martin will face Antigua and Barbuda.
