Former Golden Jaguars captain Christopher Nurse has suggested that staging the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers in a secure facility would be the best solution for regional confederation Concacaf in an effort to ensure player safety and control during the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to Nurse, 36, in an exclusive interview with Stabroek Sport, a secure environment, similar to the facilities being utilised by other sporting enterprises such as the NBA and MLS, is the ideal avenue for the confederation to utilize in this current pandemic to guarantee and safeguard the health of the competing nations.
He noted that a controlled atmosphere would ensure safety via a thorough testing regimen, adding that Concacaf should analyze this possibility in the wake of the continued spread of the virus and player welfare, as it is the only practical option that exists.
