#THE Bahamas Football Association kicked off the new school year by once again hosting the professional development day for the primary schools.
#The event got started with the BFA presenting to the teachers the format of the upcoming tournament and taking them through the subtle changes to take place.
#After the presentation, the floor was turned over to the local facilitators of the Concacaf initiative, Generation Amazing.
#The project was a collaboration between Concacaf and the Asian Football Confederation which was formalised in 2017 and paved the way for a strategic partnership between Concacaf and the Qatar Football Association.
