TTFA headquarters in Couva from June 1
Following the announcement by the TT FA during the recent visit of FIFA President Gianni Infantino that the Ato Boldon Stadium will become the new home of the TT FA, the relocation is the first part of the process which will lead to the establishment of a National Training Centre.
The TT FA, which has been based at the Hasely Crawford Stadium for the past four years, will also welcome the TT Pro League, the TT Super League (TTS L) and Women’s League Football (WoLF) to the facility with the three organisations being provided with operational space by the FA.
The TT FA believes the new location will help streamline its operations, while facilitating engagement with key stakeholders; including other FIFA Member associations,Regional and local Member associations, Government, Partners, Players, Officials and Fans.
The TT FA yesterday thanked the Ministry of Sports and the Sportt Company for its support in this significant development.
“We are thankful to the Ministry of Sport and Sport Company for fulfilling their promise to support football by providing us with the facility.
I think it is a tremendous accomplishment to have the key stakeholders in local football under one roof.
“It augurs well for the development of the game here in trinidad and Tobago and it is an indication of the administration’s drive and ambitions to take the game to greater heights and with the inclusion of the stakeholders,” TT FA president David John-Williams told TT FA Media. Pro League CEO Dexter Skeene indicated that the new move would be a boost to the overall development of football in TT .
“I would like to thank the TT FA and its president for opening their arms to the League and for his vision in bringing the major stakeholders in local football together under one roof. I think this will go a long way in improving the local game,” Skeene said.
In a reaction to the provision to the Super League, its Interim president Keith Look Loy stated, “The TT Super League is pleased to have finally received recognition from the TT FA.
TTS L now has a permanent home from which to operate and to develop the League, and we thank the TT FA for having facilitated this.” WoLF boss Sharon O’Brien expressed similar feelings, saying, “The fact that WoLF can now have an office from which we can conduct our business is a definite boost for the league and for local women’s football.
This will help us tremendously in carrying out our dayto- day operations and will be a positive step towards growing and developing the league, particularly from an administrative standpoint.”
