Antigua take aim at record fourth World Dominoes title

ST JOHN’S, Antigua (CMC):

ANTIGUA AND Barbuda will be going after a record-breaking fourth title when they host the 2025 World Council of Domino Federation (WCDF) tournament later this year.

It is being hosted by the Antigua and Barbuda National Domino Association (ABNDA), and 12 countries are set to compete at the tournament, which will run from August 10 to 18.

Teams from Anguilla, Barbados, Grenada, Guyana, St Kitts and Nevis, Dominica, St Lucia, St Maarten, USA, St Vincent and the Grenadines, and Montserrat will join hosts Antigua and Barbuda for the championships.

They will compete in four hand team, three hand male team, three hand female team, male pairs, mixed pairs, king of domino, and queen of domino categories.

President of the ABNDA, Carol-Faye Bynoe said Antigua are chasing history in their bid for a fourth title, having previously won in 2016, 2018, and 2023.

“Our biggest rival is Barbados…Prior to us being three-peat winners, because we won the last three tournaments, Barbados had been the ones winning it for a long time. They are actually tied with us right now in having three titles under their belt.

“So, this is why it is so important for us to win this one because we will create history and the fact that this year is the 20th anniversary for WCDF,” Bynoe said.

“We are hosting it here on homebase and so we really want to make an impression.”
