Trinidad and Tobago Overview

Four nations will make debuts at the 2026 World Cup, with Cape Verde, Curacao, Jordan and Uzbekistan set to grace the grandest stage in international football for the first time. It will be the tournament with the most newcomers since 2006 and all will have ambitions of ending a 16-year wait for a debutant to reach the knockout stages.

Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke has dramatically left his position as head coach of Trinidad and Tobago. The former striker, who remains an iconic figure at Old Trafford for his role in the 1999 treble-winning season, saw his tenure come to an abrupt end following a breakdown in contract negotiations. The departure comes after a disappointing qualifying campaign that saw the Soca Warriors fail to secure a place at the 2026 World Cup.
