T&T is two wins away from Gold Cup qualification. The senior men’s national side’s opening meeting against Guadeloupe is scheduled for June 16th or 17th at the DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.
Guadelopue is the highest ranked of the unseeded teams in the prelims.
T&T meet the French department for the eighth time since 1966.
