The recent hike in Covid-19 cases has forced the Antigua and Barbuda Football Association (ABFA) to stop training sessions for a number of national female teams.
This is according to vice president and chair of the competitions committee,
Gwen Salmon, who revealed recently that a number of age-group teams had been training at the body’s technical and training center at Paynters.
“We were in training, we had a number of females in training in terms of the age-groups like the under-17s, under-20s and the seniors, but due to the Covid increase we had to stop that training. We also had the female coaches working alongside them because we are trying to make sure that the female coaches could hold their own with teams because we have to empower them because they are going to be the coaches we want to lead the national teams going forward,” she said.
