Trinidad and Tobago’s Under 20 women’s team will kick off the Caribbean Football Union final round of World Cup qualification against Anguilla in Kingston this Friday (tomorrow) from 7pm.
The local team, under head coach Izler Browne will face off with their rivals at the Waterhouse Mini Stadium with fellow Group A rivals Cuba and Grenada meeting earlier in the evening.
Former National Men’s team goalkeeper Clayton Ince is the team’s goalkeeper coach with Desiree Ann Sarjeant the assistant coach and Lyndell Hoyte Sanchez the manager.
The T&T team, which is also supported by the Ministry of Sport, includes the likes of twin sisters Khadisha and Khadidra Debesette of La Brea All Stars and defender Jonelle Warrick of Trincity Nationals.
The four teams to emerge from the two groups will contest the semi-finals on Friday October 25 at the Anthony Spaulding Sports Complex, and then, on Sunday October 27, the finalists will clash at the same location for the CFU Trophy. Fans can see the games live at cfufootball.org.
The 2014 CONCACAF Women’s Under-20 final round will take place in the Cayman Islands in January. The competition will include eight teams from across the region vying for the three spots in the 2014 FIFA Under-20 Women’s World Cup, to be played in Canada, in July of that same year. The three qualifying teams will join a fourth CONCACAF nation, Canada, which automatically qualifies as host of the World Cup.
