St. Lucia will host San Marino at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground in a friendly on Thursday (November 17).
The two teams won’t be at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar but will be busy playing two friendlies against each other. St. Lucia will host both clashes in Gros Islet, which will wrap up the two teams’ activities of the year. Newly appointed coach Stern John is in the good books after successive wins.
Following their promotion to the second tier of CONCACAF's Nations League, St. Lucia are looking to progress when the competition resumes next March. With the spotlight likely to be on free-scoring Kurt Frederick, newcomer Doneal Lionel will aim to make a statement on his team debut.
San Marino are yet to win a game this year after eight outings, with a goalless draw against the Seychelles in a friendly being their best performance. La Serenissima remain in UEFA Nations League D after three campaigns. Fabrizio Costantini will look to improve his team's fortunes.
The manager is preparing the team for the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying, which kicks off next March. San Marino will play against top teams like Denmark, Northern Ireland and Slovenia. They will hope to snap their winless run in these two friendlies.
