Trinidad and Tobago’s senior men’s football team captain, Kevin Molino, has officially concluded his international career after a 2-2 draw against Bermuda in their final FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifier on November 18. The match, held at the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Mucurapo, Port of Spain, marked the end of a remarkable journey for the 35-year-old playmaker, affectionately known as ‘Nash.’ Molino, who initially retired from international football in September 2023, made a brief return last October to participate in the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup and the World Cup qualifying campaign. Despite the team’s inability to secure a victory in his farewell match, Molino expressed profound gratitude for his 15-plus years representing Trinidad and Tobago. Over his career, he earned over 70 caps and scored 27 goals, leaving an indelible mark on the national team. Molino and veteran goalkeeper Marvin Phillip, 41, were honored by the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) and the Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs for their contributions. In a heartfelt social media post, Molino thanked his teammates, coaches, and fans for their unwavering support, stating, ‘Playing for TT has been one of my greatest blessings – an honor and privilege that I will forever be proud of.’ Molino’s career highlights include two appearances at youth World Cups and a pivotal role in leading the Defence Force team to the TT Premier Football League title in the 2024/25 season. As he closes this chapter, Molino reflected on the highs, lows, and lessons of his journey, expressing pride in representing his country with ‘heart, respect, and fire.’
