The first qualifying match for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil kicks off on Wednesday when Montserrat face Belize in Trinidad and Tobago.
The preliminary round, first-leg match will be played in Couva because Montserrat’s home stadium does not meet international standards.
This preliminary round, first-leg match will be the first of 832 scheduled qualifiers.
Montserrat was devastated when the Soufriere Hills volcano erupted in 1995, one year before the nation gained FIFA membership.
In three World Cup qualifying campaigns, Montserrat has never won a match nor played at home.
CONCACAF top teams will join qualifying play in June 2012.
