Halifax Wanderers captain Andre Rampersad and forward Ryan Telfer have been called up by the Trinidad and Tobago men’s national team for the nation’s upcoming CONCACAF Nations League matches.

Trinidad and Tobago are playing two straight matches against Cuba, starting on Oct. 10 in Santiago de Cuba. On October 14, the two teams will square off in Scarborough, Tobago.

This is the second round of matches in Nations League A. Placed in Group B with Cuba, French Guiana, Honduras, Jamaica, and Nicaragua, Trinidad and Tobago will look to be among the top two teams in the group that will advance to the quarterfinals. Canada, Mexico, Panama and the United States have already advanced to the quarter-finals.

Former Halifax Wanderers assistant coach Derek King continues to serve as Caretaker Coach and will lead the Trinidad and Tobago squad. King was an assistant coach under Stephen Hart during the Wanderers’ inaugural season in 2019.

Since making his international debut in 2023, Rampersad has made 16 appearances for the Soca Warriors, scoring his first international goal during the 2023 Gold Cup.

Telfer has ten goals in 30 matches for country, making his debut back in 2019.
