National footballers head for CONCACAF U-15 tourney

Under coach Russell Latapy, the team has been in training for the past six months and will be entering their first competition at CONCACAF level having previously participated at the Cayman Airways International Cup in May.

Latapy finalised an 18-man squad on the weekend to head to the championship where TT have been drawn into Group B alongside Costa Rica, United States and Canada.

TT open their campaign on August 13 against Costa Rica and will play Canada a day later before closing off the group stage against the US on August 16.

Speaking about the preparations and the final team selection, Latapy said he was anticipating the tournament and the opportunity to come up against three solid CONCACAF opponents.

“I’m extremely happy with the group of players that we have and not only with the final group of players that were selected for the tournament but I am also happy with the players so far who have contributed to the level of where we’re at right now,” Latapy said.
