The Antigua and Barbuda Falcons is proud to announce an official partnership agreement with Liat Air – “The Pride of the Caribbean”. This pioneering collaboration marks a significant milestone for the newest franchise in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
With Liat Air, this is part of the new synergy as Antigua and Barbuda Falcons will feature on select Liat Air flights and digital assets, symbolizing the shared values of excellence, pride, and great love for the game of cricket.
Jeff Miller, Chief Executive Officer of Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, expressed great pleasure to be onboard with Liat Air. “This partnership takes Antigua and Barbuda Falcons to new heights on and off the field. Together with Liat Air, we’ll connect fans, communities, and cultures through cricket and travel. We started last year and were thrilled with the overwhelming support from our players during our home matches at the Sir Vivian Richard Stadium,” Miller said.
“We expect much more of the same this year. Now with Liat Air 20 as part of the Falcons family, our fans can travel around the region and flag the fly while they have a great time watching their favorite team away from home as well.”
This groundbreaking partnership signals a tourism and travel boost especially for Antiguans and Barbudans at home and away matches, for the “biggest party in sport”.
Launched in February 2024, the Falcons are Antigua and Barbuda’s franchise team in the CPL. It is based at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. Coached by Paul Nixon, the team represents national pride and seeks to soar in the 2025 edition of the CPL.
This year’s squad features a mixture of global stars as well as talented regional players. These include Shakib al-Hasan, Imad Wasim, Fabian Allen, Obed McCoy; among them as well as local favorites Rahkeem Cornwall, and teenager Jewel Andrew.
