Start of the match
The game is starting! Anguilla and Aruba are already facing off in this engagement, with the locals looking to get strong from the very first minutes. The Arubans, for their part, are trying to take the initiative and bring the game into the opposite field in this start.
Local strategist Marvic Bermúdez heads the bench of Aruba’s top football team, officially taking over in March 2022 after an interim period. At 43, Bermúdez is leading a restructuring within the federation (AVB), pushing both the lower categories and the main squad to consolidate a strong squadron in Concacaf competitions, recording relevant performances in the League of Nations and friendly commitments.
Under the technical direction of Trinitarian Keith Jeffrey, the Anguilla football team has begun to rewrite its history in Caribbean football, gradually moving away from the bottom of the FIFA ranking. Taking the bench with a proposal focused on defensive order, tactical discipline and local youth talent development, Jeffrey led an historic milestone by qualifying the small Caribbean territory for the Second Round of the Concacaf Qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup, outperforming Turks and Caicos in a dramatic penalty shootout.
In the CONCACAF Nations League 2026-27, Anguilla’s football team competes in the group stage of League C in Group H, sharing area with Antigua and Barbuda and Aruba. After debuting last September 26 with a 5-0 loss to Antigua and Barbuda, the next matches of the Anguilla team are marked by the unprecedented series against Aruba, which it will face first on September 29, 2026 and, subsequently, in the return duel scheduled for October 4, 2026.
Between the two confrontations against the Aruba squad, Anguilla will also have its return match against the group host, Antigua and Barbuda, on 1 October. All these commitments are crucial for the development of Anguilla football in the lowest division of the regional tournament.

Historically, the Aruban and Anguilla football teams have no record of previous matches in official CONCACAF competitions or friendly matches. Historically, both representatives of the Caribbean have played in the CONCACAF Nations League’s League C without ever crossing the same area during the first editions of the event. However, this unprecedented duel has its first chapter scheduled in the 2026-27 edition of the Concacaf Nations League, being framed in the same group of League C with a round trip series that marks the start of their direct sporting history.

The Anguilla football team has had a step characterized by the difficulties inherent in one of the smallest football programs in the region, historically competing in League C (the lowest division of the CONCACAF Nations League). Although in the inaugural edition (2019-20) they suffered tough defeats without scoring points, the team achieved significant milestones in subsequent campaigns, such as their first historical tournament points by scoring a no-goal draw against Dominica and Saint-Martin in the 2022-23 edition.
Despite facing frequent clashes against rivals with more footage and usually staying at the bottom of their groups, The League of Nations has represented for Anguilla an indispensable regular competitive platform to film its young talents and seek gradual growth in the Caribbean.
The participation of the Aruban national football team in the CONCACAF League of Nations reflects a trajectory of contrasts and constant oscillation between League B and League C. In the inaugural edition (2019-20), the Aruban team competed in League B, but after conceding six consecutive losses he was relegated.
His moment of greatest success came in the 2023-24 season, when he completed a perfect group stage in League C with four wins in equal number of matches, earning him direct promotion. However, in the 2024-25 edition he again suffered from the demands of League B by finishing in last place of his group without adding points, confirming his return to the third level of the continental contest.
