Despite Trinidad and Tobago’s (TT) men’s football team being eliminated from the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, head coach Dwight Yorke has expressed his desire to remain in the role. Yorke, who took charge of the team in November 2022, emphasized his commitment to building a stronger foundation for TT football, even as the team fell short of their World Cup aspirations. The TTFA (Trinidad and Tobago Football Association) will now decide whether to extend his contract beyond the qualifiers. Yorke’s tenure has been marked by progress, but the team’s inability to secure crucial victories in the final round of qualifiers ultimately sealed their fate. TT’s hopes were dashed after a 1-1 draw with Jamaica on November 13, leaving them third in Group B of the Concacaf qualifiers. Despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances, TT struggled with finishing, a recurring issue throughout the campaign. Yorke, visibly disappointed but proud of his players, acknowledged the challenges and called for long-term planning to improve TT’s chances in future tournaments. With the 2030 World Cup in sight, Yorke urged the TTFA to implement structural changes and support systems to elevate the team’s performance. He remains focused on the upcoming match against Bermuda, aiming to end the qualifiers on a positive note.
