This re­al­i­ty is not far-fetched, con­sid­er­ing the at­tacks by Is­rael. It has left a wake of de­struc­tion for cy­cling in the coun­try, which once had many cy­cling teams but has now been re­duced to one, the Gaza Sun­birds, which is bare­ly al­lowed to train, much less par­tic­i­pate in events.

On Thurs­day (June 12), the 2026 Con­ca­caf World Cup draw was made and many in T&T’s foot­balling con­tin­gent got the draw they de­sired. I should al­so add that many in Ja­maican foot­balling cir­cles were sim­i­lar­ly as ec­sta­t­ic by the prospects of play­ing T&T just as this coun­try pre­ferred the Der­by with Ja­maica rather than deal­ing with the likes of ei­ther Cos­ta Ri­ca or Pana­ma.
