United States Virgin Islands national soccer team
The U.S. Virgin Islands national soccer team, nicknamed ''The dashing eagle'', is the national team of the U.S. Virgin Islands and is controlled by the U.S. Virgin Islands Soccer Federation.
Though FIFA did not officially recognize the USVI team as affiliated until 1992, the Virgin Islands federation was founded in the 1970s by Trinidad native Robert T. Wills who helped build the base of the USVI Soccer Federation as it is known today. The team played its first official international match on 21 March 1998 in a victory against the British Virgin Islands.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fifa.com/worldranking/news/newsid=1490215/index.html )〕 In May of 2011, the USVI soccer federation chief, Frederick Hillaren, began ambitious changes in the team and appointed Keith Griffith, former coach and captain of the Barbados national football team and former coach of Trinidad and Tobago powerhouse club team Joe Public F.C., as technical director. Within two months of Griffith's appointment, the team shot up 51 places in the FIFA World Rankings, soccer is the third most popular sport on the islands, and the team does not have a national stadium for soccer in which to play.
==Stadium==
The team does not have a national stadium. They must play their home matches at Lionel Roberts Park, a baseball stadium in Charlotte Amalie. For their 2014 World Cup qualification matches, the team needed to bring in a new grass surface and make other special arrangements. In the past, the team has played at Paul E. Joseph Stadium in St. Croix. However, in February of 2012, it was announced that the stadium is condemned and will be demolished to make way for a new sports complex that will cost at least $50 million. The 50-acre complex will contain venues for tennis, volleyball, baseball, and aquatics. However, the plans did not include a new soccer stadium.
For the 2018 World Cup qualification, the team played at the Addelita Cancryn Junior High School Ground where they suffered a 4-0 loss to the Barbados national football team.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/round=274825/match=300310117/report.html )〕
