Why does the Montserrat National Football Team train in England?

Maybe, just maybe you should read the article which you just posted, it gives a pretty decent explanation of why they don't train in their own country.

In 1995, after lying dormant for centuries, the Soufrière Hills volcano erupted, devastating two-thirds of the island and forcing most of the original population to leave for the UK, the United States and other parts of the Caribbean.

Two decades on, a new generation of Montserratians have begun to emerge and they are reconnecting with the national team.

"We have just about 5,000 people in Montserrat," explained Vincent Cassell, president of Montserrat FA.

"90 per cent of the population in 1995 relocated to the UK here and a lot of the lads who came to England did so when they were about two, three years old."

I would assume that a large number of the squad either works, was born or lives here...
