The Caribbean Football Union and Major League Soccer have changed their Combine format this year, resulting in some of Cayman’s top football players not getting a chance to be seen by Major League Soccer scouts.
Instead of holding a proper try-out MLS scouts and recruiters will instead watch from the stands at the CFU Under-20 qualifiers in Curacao, but that only works for countries that have a team in the tournament, like Antigua and Barbuda, Bermuda, Cuba, Curacao, Haiti, St. Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis and Trinidad and Tobago.
CIFA Vice-President and CFU Executive Bruce Blake confirms countries like Cayman without a team in the tournament will not get a chance to have their players scouted by MLS Officials.
