The Trinidad and Tobago (TT) women’s football team is intensifying its preparations for the upcoming 2025/26 Concacaf Women’s Qualifiers with a series of practice matches and exhibition games. On November 8, the team will participate in an exhibition game against the Mayaro XI, a men’s team, at the Mayaro Resource Centre. Although the TT team is not competing in the Mayaro Football League, this match serves as a crucial opportunity to fine-tune their skills ahead of the qualifiers. The team recently faced a 4-1 defeat against Jamaica in a practice match on October 28, despite a promising 1-1 tie at halftime. Jinelle James, the TT Football Association’s director of women’s football, revealed that the team has scheduled additional practice games against boys’ Secondary Schools Football League teams and is working to arrange matches against regional opponents. The qualifiers will kick off on November 30 with an away game against Barbados. TT is placed in Group F alongside El Salvador and Honduras, with matches scheduled against Honduras on March 4 and El Salvador on April 17. The top six group winners will advance to the eight-team Concacaf Women’s Championship, joining pre-seeded teams Canada and the US. Meanwhile, the team’s coaching situation remains under review, with Densill Theobald and Damian Briggs currently serving as co-coaches following the unexpected resignation of former coach Angus Eve last month.
