Team St. Lucia USA has represented themselves well over the last several years in the New York Caribbean Cup Soccer Tournament and in fact as recently as 2012 and 2013 were in back to back finals. While not happy with losing their semi-final and third place games in 2015, all in all they had a reasonably successful season and like all the other teams in the 2016 tournament is hoping to be crowned champions in this landmark year.
Alittle about the Country:
Saint Lucia, located in the Eastern Caribbean is another of the smaller islands in the Caribbean covering 238 square miles. Its capital is Castries. Control of the island switched so often between colonizers England and France that it was also known as “Helen of the West Indies”.
Saint Lucia boasts the highest ratio of Nobel laureates produced with respect to the total population of any sovereign country in the world. Two winners have come from St. Lucia: Sir Arthur Lewis won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1979, and Derek Walcott received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1992. Interestingly, both were born on the same day in 1915 and 1930, respectively: January 23.
Like so many of the other Caribbean Islands, soccer and cricket are the most popular sports played on the island. Cricket however is probably where they have made their greatest impact through the efforts of West Indies captain Darren Sammy. Under Sammy’s leadership the West Indies won the 2012 World T20 championships hosted by Sri Lanka. Meanwhile in the brief history of West Indies women’s cricket St. Lucian daughter Nadine George became the first woman to score a test century for the team.
St. Lucia has not been as successful in Caribbean Football Union championships. Their best placing to date is 3RD in 1991.
