Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Pro League Dexter Skeene is leaving no stone unturned in ensuring that the tournament gets going on a high note.

The former national player said, "With the tremendous and inspirational victory of the Trinidad and Tobago team over Mexico (on Wednesday night), I am sure that the respective players will be motivated to produce a higher standard of football at the Toyota Classic.

"The League wishes to extend its congratulation to the national team for an outstanding performance, which showed Trinidad and Tobago’s football at its best." Entry fee for either venue is $20 for the covered section and $10 for uncovered.
