Nowegian Evan Pellrud expects Trinidad and Tobago's national senior women's team to win Caribbean Group B and qualify for the final round of CONCACAF qualifiers for the 2012 Olympic football tournament.

T&T's Soca Princesses will field a locally-based team in upcoming Caribbean qualifiers involving Trinidad and Tobago, Bermuda, Dominica and hosts Dominican Republic.

The tournament will be played in San Cristóbal, Dominican Republic between July 5-9. Group A, with Cuba, Aruba, Haiti and Suriname, will be played in Aruba from June 29-July 3.

Both group winners and the best runners-up between runners-up of groups A and B will qualify to the CONCACAF Finals.

The CONCACAF Finals will be played in Vancouver, Canada from January 19-29, 2012.

Canada, the reigning CONCACAF women's champions, will be joined by the United States, Mexico, three Caribbean qualifiers, and two from Central America, in the contest for the region's two berths at the London Games.

Going into the upcoming Caribbean tournament, Trinidad and Tobago are minus their overseas-based players for financial and other reasons, but Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation women's technical director Pellerud believes that the locals are prepared well enough to make it to the CONCACAF round.

Both Pellerud and coach Richard Hood will accompany the team to the Dominican Republic.

Trinidad and Tobago open against Bermuda on July 5, then take on Dominica on July 7, before ending the tournament on July 9 against Dominican Republic.

"The girls have been training four times a week since January," Pellerud said. "They are in camp now and we will go into the tournament with a team that is the combination of the national Under-17s (who played at the 2010 Under-17 Women's World Cup in T&T) and the locally-based senior women."
