Friendlies against European teams

[edit]

On 17 December 2005, the Antigua and Barbuda national team played their first match against a European opponent after theHungarian Football Federation invited "the Benna Boys" to playHungary in an internationalfriendly atLockhart Stadium inFort Lauderdale, Florida. This was the first match coached by former national strikerDerrick Edwards. Hungary defeated Antigua and Barbuda 3–0.[5]

On 2 May 2016, theEstonian Football Association announced thattheir national team would play Antigua and Barbuda in an international friendly on 22 November. It was the team's second match against a European opponent. Estonia won the game 1–0.[6]

2018 drug bust in Jamaica

[edit]

During the March 2018FIFA Calendar Antigua and Barbuda played Jamaica, drawing 1–1 away atSabina Park, levelling in the last seconds of match from a header fromPeter Byers. Upon the team's preparation for their departure back to Antigua, assistant coach Derrick Edwards and equipment manager Danny Benjamin were arrested and charged with possession of, dealing in, and taking steps to exportmarijuana, and conspiracy at theNorman Manley International Airport. Initially, Edwards was awardedbail and Benjamin was held without bail; after a month, both Edwards and Benjamin were placed underhouse arrest andcurfew and gave up their travel documents.[7] Both men were acquitted of the crime on 14 June, citing there was not enough evidence to prove their involvement in the carrying the drugs with the intention of smuggling them out of Jamaica.[citation needed]

Nicknames

[edit]

The official nickname of the Antigua and Barbuda national football team is "the Benna Boys", referring to a genre of Antiguan and Barbudan music similar to calypso. The name was selected in a contest with the fanbase in 2012 after the team advanced to thethird round of the2014 World Cup qualifiers. "The Benna Boys" beat out other entries in the contest such as "Beach Boys", "Iron Bandits", "Rhythm Warriors" and "Party Crashers".[8] In the past, the national team was unofficially known as "the Wadadli Boys", another name that was in the contest but did not win.[9]
