President’s Statement

The Trinidad and Tobago Football Association is encouraged by the continued progress and commitment being demonstrated across our national youth programmes. We extend our full support and best wishes to our Under-17 Women’s National Team as they continue their Concacaf qualifying campaign in Curaçao, following a determined 2–2 draw against the host nation. That performance reflects the resilience, belief and competitive character being nurtured within the group as they represent the nation on a major regional stage.

We are equally pleased with the positive momentum emerging from our men’s youth teams, with both the Under-17 and Under-20 squads showing steady improvement in their preparations, highlighted by a victory over St Vincent and a competitive draw against Grenada. These performances are important indicators of growth, confidence and cohesion.

As our Under-17 Men prepare to travel to Peru for two international friendlies, such exposure remains vital to accelerating development and measuring ourselves against strong opposition.

This collective progress is further supported by ongoing investment in our technical leadership, including Acting Technical Director Devin Elcock’s recent participation in the FIFA Technical Leadership course in Barbados, which strengthens our long-term vision for football development in Trinidad and Tobago.

Together, these initiatives underscore the Association’s commitment to building a resilient and competitive football culture, grounded in development, education and opportunity. By investing in our young players, providing meaningful international exposure and strengthening our technical leadership, we are laying a solid foundation for sustained success.

This collective approach remains central to our vision of elevating Trinidad and Tobago football and ensuring our national teams continue to compete with pride and purpose on the regional and international stage.”
