Trinidad and Tobago Football Association appoints Integrity Officer
The Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) is pleased to announce a historic milestone in our commitment to the beautiful game. For the first time in our illustrious history, we are embarking on a journey of dedication and accountability by introducing Sport Attorney Christophe Brathwaite as TTFA Integrity Officer.
Brathwaite has extensive experience in sport law, procurement law and governance and has worked with the TTFA as the Chairman of the First Instance Body (FIB) which oversees and awards club licenses. He will now vacate his role on the FIB to take up the appointment as the Integrity Officer.
Football, as the world’s most beloved sport, holds a special place in the hearts of millions across our nation and beyond. The TTFA recognizes the importance of upholding the integrity of this sport, ensuring it remains free from manipulation and corruption. In line with our unwavering dedication to fair play, we are establishing our commitment to adopting an effective approach against any form of manipulation and the unlawful influencing of match incidents and results.
Brathwaite will work with the FIFA Integrity Department to develop and implement the TTFA Integrity Policy which will operate in line with TTFA, Concacaf and FIFA Ethics and Disciplinary Policies and Regulations.
The core pillars of the TTFA Integrity Policy revolve around two fundamental principles: the promotion of integrity and the protection of football matches and competitions.
