The stage is set for the 2026 Concacaf Under-20 Men’s Qualifiers, with the draw scheduled for November 6. Trinidad and Tobago (TT) are among the 32 teams vying for a spot in the 2027 FIFA Men’s Under-20 World Cup. The qualifiers, set to take place from February 23 to March 4, 2026, will see teams divided into six groups based on their rankings as of August 5, 2025. TT finds itself in Pot 2, alongside Antigua and Barbuda, Curacao, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, and Suriname, while Pot 1 features powerhouses like Canada, Costa Rica, and Jamaica. The qualifiers will be hosted across venues in Costa Rica, Curacao, and Nicaragua, with the top team from each group advancing to the Concacaf Under-20 Championships in July 2026. There, they will join six pre-qualified teams: Cuba, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, and the United States. The championships will feature 12 teams divided into three groups, with the top two from each group and the two best third-placed teams progressing to the quarterfinals. At the 2024 Concacaf Under-20 Championships, Mexico triumphed over the US in the final, while Cuba and Panama secured third and fourth places, respectively. However, both Mexico and the US were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the 2025 FIFA Under-20 World Cup, with Morocco claiming the title. TT’s journey in the 2024 qualifiers ended in disappointment after a loss to Canada. Under the guidance of newly appointed coach Randolph Boyce, TT is hopeful for a favorable draw and a strong performance in the upcoming qualifiers.
