Anguilla is penultimate in the FIFA ranking and took a step towards the 2026 World Cup. On penalties, after drawing 1-1, they beat Turks and Caicos as a visitor, to advance to the second round of the Concacaf Qualifiers.
Their last goal in regulation time (regular or overtime) for that competition had been in the 2000. The British Virgin Islands, ranked 207th in FIFA ranking, made it through to the next stage for the first time in their history.
