Trinidad and Tobago Nationals living in Florida will have the opportunity to see their team return to the World Cup and watch the game so close to home. The summer of 2015 was the last time the Soca Warriors played in the U.S and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Gold Cup. The game didn’t result in the teams favor, Panama won 6-5 on penalty kicks after 90 minutes of regulation play and 30 minutes of extra time.
The match, which could be vital for advancing to the Final Round of World Cup Qualifying, will be broadcast on FS1 and Univision networks. The exact kickoff time is still to be determined.
