Although David did not appear in the "Soca Warriors"' first group match against El Salvador, he came on as an early second-half substitute for injured Joevin Jones at left-back during the team's second match against Haiti. In the final group match between the "Warriors" and Honduras, David again replaced Jones as a late substitute to secure a 2–0 win and help Trinidad and Tobago advance to the quarterfinals for the first time since 2000. In the quarterfinals against Mexico, David made his first start of the tournament after Joevin Jones suffered from a hamstring injury prior to the match.
