MIAMI, Florida, (CMC) – The road to the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics is now set for the Caribbean’s top footballing nations.
CONCACAF conducted the official draw for the 2025/26 W Qualifiers, placing the region’s teams into groups where they will battle for a coveted spot in the confederation’s premier tournament.
A total of 29 nations, including the region’s strongest Caribbean sides, were drawn into six groups.
The qualifiers will be played in the FIFA international windows of November 2025, February 2026, and April 2026.
The draw produced several intriguing groups for the Caribbean contingent: Group B is headlined by Jamaica, the recent World Cup darlings.
The Reggae Girlz will be heavily favoured to top a group that includes Guyana, Nicaragua, Dominica, and Antigua and Barbuda.
Group D features a compelling Caribbean showdown between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, ensuring a fierce battle for the top spot. They are joined by Suriname, Belize, and Anguilla.
Group E presents a major opportunity for Panama, but also for Caribbean sides Saint Kitts and Nevis, Curaçao, and Aruba, who will all look to challenge Cuba for a surprise advancement.
Group F pits Trinidad and Tobago, a traditional regional power, against Barbados and Central American opponents El Salvador and Honduras.
Elsewhere, Puerto Rico and Saint Lucia will face a mammoth task in Group A against powerhouse Mexico, while Grenada, Bermuda, and the Cayman Islands found themselves in Group C with Costa Rica and Guatemala.
The ultimate prize for these teams is immense as the six group winners will advance to the eight-team 2026 CONCACAF W Championship, where they will join the region’s two automatic qualifiers: the United States and Canada.
This W Championship, to be played in November 2026, is the direct pathway to global glory.

The four semi-finalists will automatically qualify for the 2027 Women’s World Cup in Brazil, while the two finalists will also secure a berth at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
