The CFU 2024 Boys’ U-14 Challenge Series is organized into the Group Stage and the Knockout Stage. During the Group Stage, teams are divided into groups and play in a round-robin format, earning points for wins and draws. Rankings within each group are determined by points, goal difference, and goals scored. The Knockout Stage follows, with play-offs, quarterfinals, semifinals, and a final match. Tied matches in the Knockout Stage go straight to penalty kicks.
The GFF has said it is confident in the abilities of the selected players, and looks forward to their strong performance on the international stage.
