Clyde Best has urged the Bermuda Football Association (BFA) to reconsider their decision to withdraw the Under-23 national team from the 2012 Olympic Games qualifiers.The Under-23s were due to play in regional qualifiers in July, but the BFA have withdrawn the squad because of budget cutbacks even though cash has been found to send two women’s teams to international competitions.It is a decision that hasn’t gone down well with many in the local football community and former West Ham ace Best is calling for the BFA to do the ‘right thing’ and re-enter the qualifiers.“I see the Association have made a decision to scrap the Olympic team,” said Best. “I don’t think that’s a good idea as far as our development is concerned. If we haven’t got the funds we have to find a way to trim funds from something else. Don’t let the players suffer; it’s not right.“I think a lot of our young players will be disheartened by this decision. What I would like to see is for the BFA to come up with a solution, find the money, and get these kids out there playing again.”Nahki Wells echoed Best’s sentiments regarding the BFA’s controversial decision. The 20-year-old striker, released by Carlisle United last week, said he was disappointed to be denied his Olympic chance.“I was a bit upset about the Olympic team being cancelled,” he said. “These things happen and obviously it’s out of my control.”Last week former BFA technical director, Derek Broadley, also criticised the BFA’s decision to pullout of the qualifiers.He said the previous regime’s Strategic Plan made the Under-23s a top priority pointing out that the main factor behind the Bermuda Hogges link-up was to prepare players for international competitions like the Olympics.“It seems they’re jumping from one plan to another, because we were supposed to be building the Under-23s into the national team as part of the Strategic Plan,” said Broadley, whose Knoxville Force team lost their opening game of the season 2-0 against Rocket City United at the weekend.“(The BFA) put all this money into the Hogges last year, into the Under-20s, into Under-17s we’re just going to throw it away.”This summer will see the senior women’s team head to the Dominican Republic for Olympic qualifiers in July, while the women’s Under-17 side will be involved in World Cup qualifiers a month later.It’s understood the BFA will use money allocated from FIFA’s Women’s Development Fund to help cover the costs of those trips.
