Government is moving to establish a dedicated home for women’s football at the YMCA as part of a wider expansion of the Prime Minister’s Cup and ongoing efforts to develop football specific-facilities across the island, Minister of Youth and Sports Charles Griffith has announced.

The plan forms part of preparations for the 2026 Prime Minister’s Cup, slated for September, which will for the first time include a women’s competition carrying the same $100 000 first prize as the men’s tournament.

“Last year we would have had twelve dedicated football fields, associated with the Prime Minister’s Cup. At present we have Blades Hill that is ready, Parish Land that is ready, Checker Hall is ready, along with Speightstown, and Hilda Skeene Primary,” Minister Griffith during the recent launch.
