T&T to Take on the US in Concacaf Nations League Quarterfinals

By Shirvan Williams

T&T Men’s Football team will take on the US on the road to the Nations League final and the 2024 Copa America.

Following group stage play in League A, Panama, Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, and Honduras have advanced due to placing in the top two of their respective groups, to be placed against the seeded teams from last season’s Nations League.

Despite the United States men’s national team winning the Nations League, they were not the top-seeded Concacaf team due to the placing being based on the Concacaf Rankings which has Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Costa Rica as the order of the seeded teams.

The winners of these two-legged ties will not only play for the Nations League final but they’ll also get a chance to play in Copa America alongside the CONMEBOL teams in that tournament. Getting to face teams like Argentina and Brazil ahead of the 2026 World Cup will be a great learning experience for the Concacaf sides.

The losers of the quarterfinals will then play a playoff to determine the final two teams to represent Concacaf, bringing the total number of teams from the federation in Copa America to six.
