Trinidad and Tobago missed out on 2025 FIFA Under-17 World Cup qualification after going down to hosts Costa Rica 2-0 in their final Concacaf U17 Men’s Qualifiers Group B match at Estadio Alejandro Morera Soto in Alajuela, Costa Rica, on February 16.

Striker Isaac Badilla broke the deadlock from the penalty spot after 45 minutes, placing Los Ticos in front, just before the half-time break.

Despite TT’s attempts to claw their way back into the game in the second period, Costa Rica’s Ethan Barley struck a well-placed header off a corner kick in the 87th minute to seal the victory and a first-place finish in the group.
