This is the team's final lineup: Raiko Arozarena, Jorge Luis Corrales, Yoisel Piedra, Carlos Vázquez, Alejandro Delgado, Orlando Calvo, Eduardo Hernández, Romario Torrez, Yasniel Matos, Daniel Díaz, and Reydel Sánchez.
The FC KTP winger will look to continue being a key player for the team. He's one of the team's offensive playmakers and comes into this match after being the key player in the Cuban national team's attack. Pozo arrives as one of the Finnish team's recent signings and will look to contribute offensively to the team. Last season, he played 26 games with the team, scoring 6 goals and providing 3 assists. The most important thing for him is to start having more consistency on the field and better meshing with players like Daniel Díaz to form a lethal forward line.
The Cuban national team heads to Ato Boldon Stadium to face the Russian team and continue their preparations for future CONCACAF competitions in 2024. They will be part of the CONCACAF qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, starting in March 2024. These qualifiers will award three spots for the next World Cup, in addition to the three host countries: Mexico, Canada, and the United States, so the Cubans will have to fight hard to advance to the next round. The national team has a strong core of players led by Reydel Sánchez, Raiko Arozarena, Orlando Calvo, and Romario Torrez. The Cuban national team has the ability to reach the next World Cup and be one of the best teams in their region. Cuba lost the first leg in San Cristóbal and will now travel home to try to turn the qualifying round around.
This is the team's final lineup: Denzil Smith, Aubrey David, Justin Garcia, Alvin Jones, André Raymond, Shannon Gomez, Neveal Hackshaw, Daniel Phillips, Andre Rampersad, Ajani Fortune, and Levi Garcia.
The AEK Athens winger is one of the team's most important figures, as they look to continue their development and continue proving themselves as one of the best in their position. The Trinidadian had a great season in the Greek Super League 1, where they won the championship. That season, Levi Garcia contributed 18 goals and 7 assists in 37 matches. Now, his main objective is to establish himself as an important part of the team's forward line and continue to show the great form of last season, while also helping his team secure a spot in the 2026 World Cup.
Trinidad and Tobago, looking for their place in the Gold Cup!
The Trinidad and Tobago national team heads into this friendly with the goal of getting into the rhythm for the CONCACAF World Cup Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
