Trinidad and Tobago’s national eFootball athletes concluded a rewarding campaign at the FIFAe Continental Championship in Mexico City, led by a third-place finish in the Console division.
With this result, T&T stood as the only English-speaking nation to reach the top three in the Console category across North and Central America in our debut campaign.
Team Trinidad and Tobago finished the group stage in second place behind Mexico, who would proceed to win the overall competition. The Console squad, comprising captain Javon Charles, Michael Ramsey, and Kwasi Crichlow, competed from August 27-31, navigating a challenging double-elimination bracket to earn third place on the regional stage. Afterwards, the players were all pleased with their efforts.
Charles said, "Extremely proud of our efforts in Mexico City. Seeing that this is our first international 2v2 competition, we showed that we belong amongst the best in the region and, by extension, the world. With this experience, we can only get better. With that being said, this is a great opportunity for young gamers to see that you can represent your country at the highest level in esports."
In the Mobile category, held from August 26-30, the squad led by captain Damus Munroe, alongside Deylon Reid and Micah Williams, delivered a resilient effort to advance through to the semifinal round against elite regional competition.
According to Munroe: "Firstly, all thanks to God for this opportunity to represent the red, white, and black on the biggest stage in esports. For our debut, I’m extremely proud of our efforts. The experience at the FIFAe Continental Championship was nothing short of amazing.
"We left with experience and knowing that we are very well capable of competing regionally and internationally with other countries. We can only grow from here and get better and better; the dream is not dead, but it has just begun. Congratulations to our console counterparts for placing 3rd; proud of you guys. Special thanks to TTFA and TTEFA for making everything possible."
The delegation, via a release, extended its sincere thanks to the local football community and supporters across T&T for encouragement throughout the tournament.
