In his first ma­jor in­ter­view since tak­ing the helm, new­ly in­stalled Trinidad and To­ba­go women’s foot­ball head coach An­gus Eve has is­sued a bold de­c­la­ra­tion of in­tent, ex­press­ing firm be­lief that he can guide the Women’s So­ca War­riors out of their first-round group and in­to the fi­nal round of qual­i­fi­ca­tion for the 2026 World Cup.

Speak­ing on a spe­cial edi­tion of the i95.5 FM “-6 to 26” World Cup Pod­cast with hosts An­dre Er­rol Bap­tiste and Tony Lee, Eve ac­knowl­edged the sig­nif­i­cant chal­lenges ahead but framed them as a his­toric op­por­tu­ni­ty.

“We’ve nev­er done it be­fore, so ob­vi­ous­ly, there’s an op­por­tu­ni­ty to do some­thing that has nev­er been done. And I be­lieve in that sort of thing,” Eve stat­ed, un­der­scor­ing his mo­ti­va­tion for ac­cept­ing the role. “I be­lieve in giv­ing back to my coun­try.”
