The Dashing Eagles head to Ta’if, Saudi Arabia, for high-altitude training in the Sarat mountain range, with friendly matches and scouting opportunities aimed at enhancing the team's performance, while showcasing USVI soccer talent internationally

The U.S. Virgin Islands Soccer Federation (USVISF) has announced that the Senior Men's National Team, known as the Dashing Eagles, is set to embark on a training camp in Ta’if, Saudi Arabia. This development comes shortly after their participation in the Concacaf Nations League (CNL) during the September window.

This training camp represents a major opportunity for the Dashing Eagles, offering them a chance to train at high altitudes in the scenic Sarat mountain range. Ta’if, located about two hours from Jeddah, sits at an elevation of nearly 6,200 feet, providing a unique environment for the team to improve their performance and skills.

While in Ta’if, the Dashing Eagles will undergo intensive training sessions and participate in friendly matches against local teams. Scouts will also be present to observe the players.
