TheTrinidad and Tobago national football team, nicknamed the "Soca Warriors", represents the twin-island Republic ofTrinidad and Tobago in internationalfootball. It is controlled by theTrinidad and Tobago Football Association, which is a member ofCONCACAF andFIFA since 1964, and also a member ofCFU.
The national team competes in theWorld Cup,Gold Cup, and theNations League, as well as other competitions by invitation. The Soca Warriors' lone appearance at the FIFA World Cup came in2006, after the team defeatedBahrain 2–1 on aggregate in theCONCACAF–AFC intercontinental play-off. The team has qualified for the CONCACAF Gold Cup on 18 occasions with their best performance in2000, after reaching the semi-finals, finishing third. However, the national team did experience great success at the defunctCaribbean Cup, having won the sub-continental competition ten times and runners-up on seven occasions.
The separateTrinidad andTobago national football teams are not related to the national team and are not directly affiliated with the game's governing bodies of FIFA or CONCACAF, but are affiliated with the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association.
At the1973 CONCACAF Championship, Trinidad and Tobago fell two points short of qualifying for the1974 World Cup in controversial fashion. Trinidad and Tobago lost a crucial game on 4 December 1973 against hostsHaiti 2–1 after being denied five goals. The referee, José Roberto Henríquez ofEl Salvador, andCanadian linesman James Higuet were subsequently banned for life by FIFA for the dubious events of the match.[4][5][6]
Trinidad and Tobago came within one game of qualifying for the1990 World Cup in Italy. Nicknamed the "Strike Squad" during the qualifying campaign, Trinidad and Tobago needed only a draw to qualify intheir final game played at home against theUnited States on 19 November 1989. In front of an over-capacity crowd of more than 30,000 at theNational Stadium on "Red Day",[7]Paul Caligiuri of the United States scored the only goal of the game in the 38th minute dashing Trinidad and Tobago's qualification hopes.[8] For the good behaviour of the crowd at the stadium, despite the devastating loss and overcrowded stands, the spectators of Trinidad and Tobago were awarded theFIFA Fair Play Award in 1989.[9]

Trinidad and Tobago qualified for the2006 World Cup in Germany, its first-ever qualification for the tournament. During their qualifying campaign, they sat at the bottom of the table in the final round of qualifying with one point from three. However, after the arrival ofLeo Beenhakker as team coach and the recalling of veteran playersDwight Yorke andRussell Latapy, Trinidad and Tobago reversed its fortunes and placed fourth in the group. They qualified via aplay-off againstBahrain, recovering from a 1–1 draw at home to win 1–0 inManama, Bahrain to book a place in the finals. As a result,Trinidad and Tobago became the smallest country to qualify for theFIFA World Cup, a record they held untilIceland reached their firstWorld Cup in2018.
In Germany, Trinidad and Tobago were grouped withEngland,Sweden andParaguay inGroup B.They played their initial game, drawing 0–0 against Sweden, even though they were reduced to ten men early in the second half. They faced losses in their remaining matches against England and Paraguay, each by a 2–0 margin.

Trinidad and Tobago began their campaign in thesecond round againstBermuda. Trinidad and Tobago lost the first match 2–1 at home, but bounced back to win the away leg 2–0 to progress to thethird round 3–2 on aggregate. The Soca Warriors entered Group 1 alongside theUnited States,Guatemala, andCuba. They then progressed to theHexagonal round, finishing second in the group with eleven points from six games. There they facedCosta Rica,El Salvador,Honduras,Mexico and the United States. The group began badly for Trinidad and Tobago as they drew 2–2 with El Salvador after leading 2–0, and then drew 1–1 with Honduras. Three consecutive losses, to the United States, Costa Rica and Mexico, put the Soca Warriors in last place with two points from five matches. After defeating El Salvador 1–0, they suffered further losses to Honduras and the United States the following month, ending their hopes of qualifying, and they eventually finished bottom of the group.
Trinidad and Tobago entered qualification for the2014 World Cup in thesecond round as a seeded team, withGuyana,Bermuda andBarbados also drawn in Group B. The Soca Warriors defeated Bermuda (1–0) and Barbados (2–0) in their first two matches. However, on 7 October 2011, they lost away to Bermuda inDevonshire Parish 2–1.[10] The team recovered four days later by defeating Barbados 4–0 in theHasely Crawford Stadium with ahat-trick fromLester Peltier.[11] Entering the final two matches in the Second Round, Trinidad and Tobago were in second place, behind Guyana by one point. As only the group winners would advance to the third round, the Soca Warriors needed to take four points in the two matches against Guyana to advance. Trinidad and Tobago first traveled toProvidence, Guyana to face the Golden Jaguars on 11 November 2011. With an early goal fromRicky Shakes and another fromLeon Cort in the 81st minute, Trinidad and Tobago trailed 2–0 and faced elimination.Kenwyne Jones pull a goal back in the 93rd minute, but the match ended 2–1 to Guyana.[12] On 12 January 2012,Otto Pfister was sacked after the country's earliest exit from World Cup qualification since1994.[13]
Trinidad and Tobago entered qualification for the2018 FIFA World Cup in thefourth round and were drawn into Group C withGuatemala,Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and theUnited States. The team finished second in the group with 11 points to qualify for theHexagonal. However, they finished in sixth place in the final round with only six points, even though they eliminated the United States from World Cup contention with a2–1 victory in the final match.
Trinidad and Tobago entered qualification for the2018 FIFA World Cup in thefirst round and were drawn into Group F withSaint Kitts and Nevis,Puerto Rico,Bahamas, andGuyana. The team finished second in the group with 8 points and failed to qualify for the2022 FIFA World Cup.
Trinidad and Tobago entered qualification for the2026 FIFA World Cup in thesecond round and were drawn into Group B withSaint Kitts and Nevis,Grenada,Bahamas, andCosta Rica.
For the first eighty years of their existence, Trinidad and Tobago played their home matches all around the country withQueen's Park Oval, generally thought of as the most picturesque and largest of the oldcricket grounds in theWest Indies, as the most often used venue.[14] The cricket ground served as the country's largest stadium until the newNational Stadium was built inMucurapo,Port of Spain, to host the nation'sathletics competitions and internationalfootball matches.
The stadium later was renovated and renamed afterHasely Crawford, the first person from Trinidad and Tobago to win anOlympicgold medal, prior to Trinidad and Tobago hosting the2001 FIFA U-17 World Championship. The stadium currently has a seating capacity of 23,000 and is owned by theTrinidad and Tobagogovernment and managed through the Ministry of Sport via its special purpose state agency called SporTT.[15]
In recent years, theTTFA have hosted matches at the smaller 10,000 seatAto Boldon Stadium inCouva, citing a problem with the lighting system at Hasely Crawford Stadium, lower expenses for matches at Ato Boldon, and fans being seated closer to the pitch.[16] Trinidad and Tobago hosted two games during "The Hex" in late 2017. They lost toHonduras 1–2 on 1 September 2017. On 10 October 2017, Trinidad and Tobago defeated theUnited States 2–1, causing the United States to fail to qualify for theWorld Cup for the first time since1986. Ato Boldon Stadium has since hosted friendlies against Grenada, Guyana, and Panama.
The majorsupporters' group for the national team is the Soca Warriors Supporters Club or the "Warrior Nation". The group is a non-profit organisation that is independent of theTrinidad and Tobago Football Association. Formed shortly afterTrinidad and Tobago securedqualification for the2006 FIFA World Cup, the supporters' club was organised by Soca Warriors Online founder Inshan Mohammed and Nigel Myers.
The group's activities include promoting teams locally and globally, lobbying theTrinidad and Tobago Football Association as representatives of football fans, advocating fair pricing and allocation of event tickets, organising travel for fans to home and away matches, providing a family-oriented fans' organisation, and promoting football among the young people ofTrinidad and Tobago.
