A regional rivalry is renewed when Trinidad & Tobago meet Haiti in the Copa America Centenario qualifying playoffs.
Both teams are one win away from securing a berth to the oldest tournament in world football. The Copa America -- which will be held on American soil for the first time in its history -- dates back to 1916, when Uruguay lifted the crown.
For Trinidad & Tobago, it would serve as a return to the global stage.
The Soca Warriors qualified for the 2006 World Cup -- becoming the smallest nation ever to do so -- but have only made the obligatory Gold Cup appearance since.
Haiti haven't played in a major tournament since their 15th-placed finish at the 1974 World Cup.

What They're Saying
Trinidad & Tobago head coach Stephen Hart (via CONCACAF): "This is the oldest tournament in the world, you cannot put a price on it. What it means to the people of Trinidad & Tobago and to the country to be part of such a prestigious tournament would mean a lot to us and to the football ... and to a country that definitely needs to smile a little bit."
Trinidad & Tobago defender Radanfah Abu Bakr (via CONCACAF): "We've had some good time together and the sessions have been intense. I think we're well prepared. We have enough talented players and the attitude is right."
