At the1973 CONCACAF Championship,Trinidad and Tobago fell two points short of qualifying for the1974 World Cupin controversial fashion. Trinidad and Tobago lost a crucial game on 4 December 1973 against hostsHaiti2–1 after being denied five goals. The referee, José Roberto Henríquez ofEl Salvador,andCanadianlinesman James Higuet were subsequently banned for life by FIFA for the dubious events of the match.

1980s to 1990s: The Strike Squad

Trinidad and Tobago came within one game of qualifying for the1990 World Cupin Italy. Nicknamed the "Strike Squad" during the qualifying campaign, Trinidad and Tobago needed only a draw to qualify intheir final gameplayed at home against theUnited Stateson 19 November 1989. In front of an over-capacity crowd of more than 30,000 at theNational Stadiumon "Red Day",Paul Caligiuriof the United States scored the only goal of the game in the 38th minute dashing Trinidad and Tobago's qualification hopes.For the good behaviour of the crowd at the stadium, despite the devastating loss and overcrowded stands, the spectators of Trinidad and Tobago were awarded theFIFA Fair Play Awardin 1989.

Home stadium

Hasely Crawford Stadiumbecame the home of the national team in 1980

For the first eighty years of their existence, Trinidad and Tobago played their home matches all around the country withQueen's Park Oval,generally thought of as the most picturesque and largest of the oldcricketgrounds in theWest Indies,as the most often used venue.The cricket ground served as the country's largest stadium until the newNational Stadiumwas built inMucurapo,Port of Spain,to host the nation'sathleticscompetitions and internationalfootballmatches.

The stadium later was renovated and renamed afterHasely Crawford,the first person from Trinidad and Tobago to win anOlympicgold medal,prior to Trinidad and Tobago hosting the2001 FIFA U-17 World Championship.The stadium currently has a seating capacity of 23,000 and is owned by theTrinidad and Tobagogovernmentand managed through the Ministry of Sport via its special purpose state agency called SporTT.

In recent years, theTTFAhave hosted matches at the smaller 10,000 seatAto Boldon StadiuminCouva,citing a problem with the lighting system at Hasely Crawford Stadium, lower expenses for matches at Ato Boldon, and fans being seated closer to the pitch.Trinidad and Tobago hosted two games during "The Hex"in late 2017. They lost toHonduras1–2 on 1 September 2017. On 10 October 2017, Trinidad and Tobago defeated theUnited States2–1, causing the United States to fail to qualify for theWorld Cupfor the first time since1986.Ato Boldon Stadium has since hosted friendlies against Grenada, Guyana, and Panama.
