US Virgin Islands squad blames promoter for cancellation of Azkals friendly

The US Virgin Islands Soccer Association said it is not to blame for the cancellation of its squad�s friendly match against the Philippine national men�s football team originally slated Friday (Saturday morning Manila time) in Indianapolis, Indiana.
In a news release, USVI Soccer Association secretary-general Chantel Bird said it was the promoter that pulled out of the planned series of matches, which also would have included a match against the semi-professional Chicago Inferno squad.
�We were working with a promoter and due to low and slow ticket sales he pulled out,� said Bird. �This is a very disappointing situation, but is out of our control. As a remedy to this situation the President of the Chicago Inferno, Todd Short tried to book a private plane for both the St. Thomas and St. Croix players and staff, however, it was extremely costly and out of budget.�
