The US men’s national team begin their journey in search of a third consecutive CONCACAF Nations League title as they face Trinidad and Tobago in the quarterfinals.
Having secured their previous title by defeating Canada 2-0 in the final, the United States earned a pre-seeded position in this competition, ensuring automatic qualification to this stage. Meanwhile, Trinidad and Tobago, despite a 5-3 loss to Curacao in their final group stage match, secured the second spot in Group A to reach the last eight.
Gregg Berhalter’s USA side is not only eyeing a third Nations League title but also an automatic place in the 2024 Copa America.
Trinidad and Tobago will be led by Dennis Lawrence and it’s their first time beyond the group stages since the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup. The Soca Warriors have won their opening three matches by a single goal.
