Prime Minister Persad-Bissessar today congratulated Crown Trace FC of Enterprise, Chaguanas on winning the 2015 ESPN Disney Cup International football tournament.

The Under-19 team from Trinidad and Tobago fended off several other clubs from around the world to emerge victorious with a 3-2 victory over Boca FC of Florida in the finals, played on Sunday in Orlando, Florida.

The Prime Minister said that she was “extremely proud of these fine young men that I recently met with in Enterprise” who travelled almost 2,000 miles to the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex to compete against global competitors. This year the competition attracted more than 3000 young athletes.

Recently, during a tour of Enterprise, the Prime Minister visited the Crown Trace Football Club and expressed how impressed she was at their “remarkable focus” despite the numerous distractions around them.

Prime Minister Persad-Bissessar also noted that Trinidad and Tobago’s athletes all over the world, most recently in the 2015 Concacaf Gold Cup and Pan American Games, were raising the national flag to greater heights.

The Prime Minister also urged the young athletes to continue putting forth their best efforts. She also commended all the supporting family members and staff who helped the young men along their successful journey.

She said, “The future of sport in Trinidad and Tobago is brighter than ever before.”
