HAVANA, Cuba, Jun 10 (ACN) The Cuban national soccer team will play today against Bermuda in the decisive match of Group A of the first Concacaf qualifying phase for the FIFA World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada 2026.

Bermuda, which thrashed the Cayman Islands 5-0 in its previous match, has four points and must beat Cuba to stay alive in the A group.
In the other match of the day in this group, Honduras will face Antigua and Barbuda (1).
