Trinidad and Tobago squad named for Women's Gold Cup qualifiers

A 23-MEMBER women's football senior squad was chosen ahead of the Concacaf Women's Gold Cup qualifier against Mexico at Estadio Hidalgo, Pachuca on Tuesday from 10 pm (TT time).

Sisters Karyn and Kimika Forbes, defender Victoria Swift and midfielder Asha James are a few seasoned campaigners in the squad.

Head coach of TT Richard Hood, speaking to TT Football Association media, said, "As we all know a number of players were not available and I think the squad that we have is the best squad that is available to us at this time.
