The two finalists of the men’s Caribbean Cup Football Championship two years ago have been grouped together for the 2014 final tournament, which takes place from November 10-17 in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Trinidad and Tobago, the Caribbean’s number one ranked football team, at #49 in the world, will open its 2014 Men’s Caribbean Cup against Curacao.
The Caribbean’s top football competition will be contested among eight finalists: hosts Jamaica, defending champions Cuba, and six qualifiers. And for the first time the competition will be staged within a FIFA international match window, thus giving all eight teams access to their foreign-based professionals.
T&T’s Soca Warriors are drawn with defending champions Cuba in Group A, along with Curacao and French Guiana. Group B is a virtual group of death featuring Jamaica, 2012 semi-finalist Haiti, Martinique, as well as a strong Antigua and Barbuda. Both Caribbean group winners will contest the 2014 final, while runner-up from both groups will contest third spot.
T&T open its campaign on November 10 against Curacao. Two days later, they face French Guiana—who they beat 4-1 in qualifying two years ago—before facing Cuba on November 14 in a rematch of the 2012 grand finale. Defending champions Cuba won its first title two years ago, when edging eight-time champions T&T 1-0 at the Antigua Recreation Ground.
The 2014 Caribbean Cup Football Championship serves as a qualifier for two major tournaments; the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup and a special centennial edition of the Copa America. The new Caribbean Cup champions qualify directly for the 2016 COPA, to be staged in the USA, and involving the top South Americans teams Brazil, Argentina, Colombia against CONCACAF teams Mexico, USA and other qualifiers.
In addition, all four 2014 Caribbean Cup semi-finalists go to the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup, again to be held in the USA. A fifth-placed Caribbean qualifier will face Honduras for another Gold Cup spot. The spot for fifth Caribbean qualifier will be won by the best of the two team finishing third at the group stage.
