Trinidad and Tobago's men's football team are likely to have a busy period over the next month, as they have landed a March 15 friendly with Bolivia. The Bolivia friendly will be followed by matches in the Fifa Series against Venezuela and Gabon on March 27 and 30, respectively. The Bolivia friendly comes outside of the Fifa international match window, which runs from March 23-31.
The upcoming matches for the Dwight Yorke-coached team were confirmed by the TT Football Association (TTFA) on February 23.
The Bolivia game will be played at the Estadio Ramon Tahuichi, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. When TT Bolivia met in a friendly in Sucre in January 2022, the then Agus Eve-coached team suffered a heavy 5-0 loss. Some of the players who featured in that game for TT were Justin Garcia, Neveal Hackshaw, Alvin Jones, Molik Jesse Khan, Reon Moore, Noah Powder, and Ryan Telfer.

TT are currently 97th on the Fifa rankings, with Bolivia ranked at 76th. Bolivia placed seventh in CONMEBOL's World Cup qualifying. The match comes at a contrasting time for the two teams as Bolivia are preparing for a Fifa 2026 World Cup intercontinental playoff with Suriname on March 26, while TT will be involved in the Fifa Series in Uzbekistan, having missed out on a spot in this year's World Cup. The winner of the playoff match between Bolivia and Suriname will take on Iraq for a place at the World Cup.
The TTFA release said details regarding squad announcements and match coverage will be communicated via its official platforms in due course.
