The Trinidad and Tobago national football team, also known as the "Soca Warriors", plays for the country of Trinidad and Tobago in international football games. The team is managed by the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association. This association is part of CONCACAF (North America's football group) and FIFA since 1964. They are also a member of the CFU.

The Soca Warriors play in big tournaments like the World Cup, Gold Cup, and the Nations League. Their only time playing in the FIFA World Cup was in 2006. They made it there by beating Bahrain in a special play-off game.

The team has played in the CONCACAF Gold Cup 18 times. Their best result was reaching the semi-finals in 2000, where they finished third. They were very successful in the old Caribbean Cup, winning it ten times and coming in second seven times.

It's important to know that the separate teams for Trinidad and Tobago are not the same as the national team. They are not directly linked to FIFA or CONCACAF.

History of the Soca Warriors

Early Years: The 1970s

In the 1973 CONCACAF Championship, Trinidad and Tobago almost made it to the 1974 World Cup. They lost a key game to Haiti 2–1. There was a lot of debate because five of their goals were not counted. The referee and a linesman were later banned from football for life because of what happened in that match.

The Strike Squad: 1980s to 1990s

Trinidad and Tobago came very close to qualifying for the 1990 World Cup in Italy. This team was called the "Strike Squad". They only needed a tie in their last game at home against the United States on November 19, 1989.

More than 30,000 fans filled the National Stadium for this big game. But Paul Caligiuri from the United States scored the only goal in the 38th minute. This ended Trinidad and Tobago's dream of going to the World Cup. Even though they lost, the fans were very well-behaved. Because of this, Trinidad and Tobago received the FIFA Fair Play Award in 1989.

The 2000s: World Cup Debut

Making History at the 2006 FIFA World Cup

Leo Beenhakker was the coach for Trinidad and Tobago in 2006.

Trinidad and Tobago made history by qualifying for the 2006 World Cup in Germany. This was their first time ever reaching the tournament! They had a tough start in the qualifying games. But when Leo Beenhakker became the coach and experienced players like Dwight Yorke and Russell Latapy returned, things changed.

The team finished fourth in their group. They then won a play-off game against Bahrain. They tied 1–1 at home and then won 1–0 in Manama, Bahrain. This win secured their spot in the World Cup. Trinidad and Tobago became the smallest country to qualify for the World Cup at that time. Iceland later broke this record in 2018.

In Germany, Trinidad and Tobago was in Group B with England, Sweden, and Paraguay. Their first game was a 0–0 tie against Sweden, even though they played with only ten players for most of the second half. They lost their other two matches against England and Paraguay, both by a score of 2–0.

Recent World Cup Journeys

2010 World Cup Qualifiers

Trinidad and Tobago started their journey for the 2010 World Cup against Bermuda. They lost the first game at home but won the second game away, moving forward in the competition. They made it to the final round of qualifiers, known as the "Hexagonal".

In the Hexagonal, they faced tough teams like the United States and Mexico. They had a difficult start with two ties and then three losses. Despite a win against El Salvador, they lost more games and finished last in their group. This meant they did not qualify for the 2010 World Cup.

2014 World Cup Qualifiers

For the 2014 World Cup, Trinidad and Tobago started strong, winning their first two matches. However, they later lost to Bermuda. They needed to get enough points from their games against Guyana to move on. They lost a crucial game to Guyana 2–1. This early exit from the World Cup qualifiers was their earliest since 1994.

2018 World Cup Qualifiers

Trinidad and Tobago reached the fourth round of qualifiers for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. They finished second in their group and moved to the final "Hexagonal" round. However, they ended up in sixth place in this round. A notable moment was their 2–1 victory over the United States in their final match. This win meant the United States did not qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1986.

2022 World Cup Qualifiers

In the qualifiers for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Trinidad and Tobago played in Group F. They finished second in their group with 8 points. Unfortunately, this was not enough to qualify for the World Cup.

2026 World Cup Qualifiers

Trinidad and Tobago is currently playing in the second round of qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. They are in Group B with teams like Saint Kitts and Nevis and Costa Rica.

Team Home Stadium

HCStadium2013
Hasely Crawford Stadium became the home of the national team in 1980.

For many years, Trinidad and Tobago played their home games at different places. The Queen's Park Oval, a famous cricket ground, was often used. It was the country's biggest stadium until the new National Stadium was built in Port of Spain. This new stadium was made for both athletics and international football matches.

The stadium was later updated and renamed after Hasely Crawford. He was the first person from Trinidad and Tobago to win an Olympic gold medal. This happened before Trinidad and Tobago hosted the 2001 FIFA U-17 World Championship. The stadium can now hold 23,000 people. The government of Trinidad and Tobago owns it, and the Ministry of Sport manages it.

Recently, the TTFA has also used the smaller 10,000-seat Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva. They sometimes use it because of issues with the lighting at Hasely Crawford Stadium. Also, it costs less to play matches there, and fans can sit closer to the field. Ato Boldon Stadium hosted important games in late 2017. For example, Trinidad and Tobago beat the United States 2–1 there on October 10, 2017.

Team Supporters

The main group of fans for the national team is called the Soca Warriors Supporters Club, or the "Warrior Nation". This group is not part of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association. It was started after Trinidad and Tobago qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

The group does many things to support the team. They help promote the team locally and around the world. They also talk to the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association on behalf of fans. They work to make sure ticket prices are fair and help fans travel to games. The Warrior Nation also encourages young people in Trinidad and Tobago to get involved in football.
