Hadan Holligan will wear the captain’s armband for the Barbados senior national football team against the Dominican Republic in a must-win encounter in the Concacaf FIFA World Cup 2022 qualifier. The match kicks off tomorrow night at 7 p.m. Barbados time at the Felix Sanchez Olympic Stadium here in Santo Domingo.
Head coach Russell Latapy has appointed 25-year-old Weymouth Wales’ midfielder Holligan to lead the squad in the absence of Rashad Jules who is injured, while playmaker Omani Leacock is set to be named vice-captain.
Latapy made the announcement today during a pre-match training session at the Panamericano Stadium.
The Tridents were unable to train at the official match venue due to concerns over the conditions of the surface after heavy rains on Wednesday. (AG-B)
