Before the “Grands” match on Sunday afternoon at the Saint-Jean stadium, the U13 selection of Saint-Barth hosted Sint-Maarten, the selection of Saint-Barth U15 being opposed to their Saint-Martin counterparts.
The President of the Sports Commission of the Collectivity of Saint-Barthélemy Corinne FEBRISSY, the President of the CTFSB, Zouhir BOUBAKEUR, the U13 selection manager of Sint Maarten Soccer Association Heidi HOBSON, the U15 selection manager of Saint-Martin, Gilles PETIT, the Educators of the three territories and the representatives of the Leagues of Saint-Martin and Sint-Maarten all made the trip to Saint-Barthélemy for this selection day.
A big thank you to each of them for their good humor, their fair play and their passion for the round ball!
But we should not also forget… the public! Up to 300 people were present in the stands to support their favorite team!
It was a very motivated U13 Saint-Barth Selection who entered the field and the first goal of the game was not long in coming. 10th minute, very nice goal from Matheus Carvalho on a lob from the goalkeeper after an interception and a great lucidity in front of the goal. But he was not going to stop there, since he will be the author of “Hats off” by scoring the 3 goals for Saint-Barth. It is Yuvraj Vaswani who will find the net of the opposing goal for Sint-Maarten.

The Saint-Barthélemy U15s played for the first time an official CONCACAF opposing selection and the stake was there. The Saint-Martinois will open the scoring quickly before… registering a second, then a third, fourth and finally fifth goal before the break. But this does not mean that the U15s of Saint-Barth have decided to give up even if the task was complex against a very well-established Saint-Martin team. A goal from Saint-Barth will re-motivate the troops even if the U15s of Saint-Martin will conclude the match by worsening the score.
"If of course, the result is disappointing for each of our U15s, know that you provided a good boost from the spectators who also made the trip.
We were there for this new experience and we will still be there tomorrow for your next matches. This is only the start of a great adventure, we are convinced of it. You will do better for the next matches, and that, we are sure of it ”, underlines an official of the Territorial Committee of Saint-Barthélemy.
