The Trinidad and Tobago team will be led by head coach Richard Hood and assisted by TTFA director of youth football and Women’s U-17 National Team head coach Rajesh Latchoo.

Hood’s travel party, according to a TTFA press release, will “feature a developmental team with a mixture of TTFA High Performance Programme and Senior players”.

“Several players who would comprise this developmental team have been playing for their respective teams in the Republic Bank National Youth Football League (RBNYFL),” stated the TTFA Media, “and weekly TTFA High Performance Programme training”.

There are no Concacaf Women’s competitions this year, so it is up to member associations to take responsibility for their own activities.
