The Dominica Football Association (DFA) has changed the kick-off time for the senior men's national team's friendly against Anguilla, set for Monday at Windsor Park Sports Stadium. Supporters planning to attend in Roseau will need to adjust their arrangements, as the match will no longer start at the originally announced hour.
The DFA confirmed the switch for the fixture, which forms part of Dominica's preparations in the current international window. The association did not give a reason for the change, but such adjustments are common in friendly internationals when travel, venue or broadcast arrangements shift.
Windsor Park is Dominica's principal football venue and the regular home of the senior men's team. The DFA is asking fans to take note of the new time and to arrive early, with the stadium expected to draw support from across the Roseau area and beyond.
The friendly against Anguilla gives the national squad another opportunity to play together outside of competitive fixtures. Matches of this kind allow the coaching staff to look at players, test combinations and build fitness ahead of the regional competitions that dominate the Caribbean football calendar.
Anguilla, like Dominica, is a small Eastern Caribbean football nation, and meetings between the two are usually closely followed by supporters in both islands. The fixture also fits into the wider pattern of Caribbean Football Union and CONCACAF activity, in which Dominica regularly arranges home-and-away friendlies to keep its programme active.
For the DFA, staging a senior men's international at home carries costs and logistics, from match officials and medical cover to security and pitch preparation. Moving a kick-off time is a routine operational decision, but it matters to the people who plan their afternoon or evening around the match.
Supporters who cannot attend will look to the association's channels for confirmation of the final arrangements and any coverage details. The DFA has not indicated any further changes to the fixture, and the match remains scheduled for Monday at Windsor Park.
Dominica's football public is small but loyal, and home internationals at Windsor Park are among the few occasions when the national team plays in front of a local crowd. That makes clear communication from the association important, particularly when times change at short notice.
The senior men's team has long relied on a mix of home-based players and Dominicans based overseas, and friendly matches are often the only chance for those groups to train and play together. Anguilla will present a familiar regional opponent, and the game should offer both sides a useful workout.
Fans are advised to check with the DFA for the confirmed kick-off time before travelling to the stadium, and to follow official updates in case of any further adjustment. The association has asked the public to note the change and to plan accordingly for Monday's match.
