MIAMI – The Second Round of the Concacaf Qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup 2026 continues on Friday with important matches in Groups A and B.
The Road to the 2026 continues for Concacaf nations with the final encounters of the Second Round during the June 2025 match window. The group winners and runners-up will progress to the Third and Final Round.
Antigua and Barbuda vs. Cuba
Antigua and Barbuda hosts Cuba in Group A at the ABFA Technical Center in Piggotts, Antigua and Barbuda.
The hosts arrive at this encounter as the last place team in the group with one point and need a victory to keep their qualification hopes alive. The Benna Boys tied 1-1 with Bermuda and fell 1-nil at the Cayman Islands during the qualification window in June 2024. Raheem Deterville has scored the lone goal for the side.
Cuba sits third in the group with three points and seeks to strengthen position into the top two. Maikel Reyes scored the lone goal in a 3-1 defeat in Honduras before Cuba earned its first set of points.
Trinidad and Tobago vs. Saint Kitts and Nevis
Trinidad and Tobago hosts Saint Kitts and Nevis in Group B at Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.
The Soca Warriors seek to strengthen their position among the top two, currently sitting in second with four points, and move up to first place. Trinidad and Tobago drew 2-2 against Grenada and earned a 7-1 win against The Bahamas to open its campaign last year. Reon Moore, Duane Muckette, and Malcolm Shaw lead the team with two goals apiece.
Saint Kitts and Nevis is fourth with three points and could also jump into the top two with a victory. Ethan Bristow delivered the match-winning goal against The Bahamas to give his nation its first victory of the campaign after falling 4-nil to Costa Rica.
