The Grenada Football Association (GFA) has released a fully  local based squad ahead of the historic international friendly in Carriacou between Grenada and  St.Vincent and the Grenadines on Saturday September 24 at the Lauriston Mini Stadium from  4pm.

Over 30 local players were engaged in intense fitness and tactical training, Mondays to Thursdays  at the Kirani James Athletics Stadium and over the weekend they participated in a team building  and training camp in St.George’s from which the final team was picked. The camp involved  tactical sessions, beach recovery activities and a practice match against Queen’s Park Rangers  which the Senior Men’s National Team won. GFA Fitness and Performance Coach Claudio Altieri  has been working closely with the players to ensure top form for the historic encounter.

The fully local squad led by Interim Head Coach Anthony ‘Nixon’ Modeste is a balance of youth  and experience with the average age of players being 23 with 11 players under the age of 23.  Players who represented Grenada in the last Concacaf U20 Boys Tournament in 2021 are on the  final squad including Shamrock FC’s Deanroy Phillip, GBSS’ Ethan Telesford and Queen’s Park  Rangers’ Benjamin Ettienne and Trishawn Thomas.
