Senior

Former Trinidad and Tobago National Women’s Senior Team head coach Randy Waldrum, who took the “Women Soca Warriors” to within one goal of a FIFA 2015 Women’s World Cup place, allegedly found out about his rejection for the post through the media.

Hoping to have secured a professional contract, Trinidad and Tobago’s Women’s Football Association 2014 Player of the Year, defender Arin King, was dealt with a blow after sustaining a torn meniscus injury and had to cut short her trial with NWSL team the Houston Dash.

T&T women’s team midfielder Liana Hinds joined United States Women’s professional football club New England Mutiny.

Four months after the nation became captivated by the skill, perseverance and warrior spirit of a group of national footballers that came within a goal of qualifying for a World Cup, all seems to be lost.

RANDY WALDRUM will remain with the Houston Dash, his American women’s professional team, and will not be in charge of Trinidad and Tobago’s senior national women football team for the upcoming Pan Am Games competition to be held next month in Canada. The T&T women will face Colombia, Brazil and Ecuador in the group phase.

“Whenever I had a ball at my feet nothing else in the world mattered, it was my escape. Now that I have grown older football has become my purpose, something I would do to clear my mind, something to put a smile on my face, on the faces of people of my country.”

Whether or not it is human error, negligence or simply forgetfulness, something is wrong with the way women are treated.

I write in response to an article published in the newspapers on Tuesday where it was stated that Randy Waldrum will be retained as the Soca Princesses’ coach.
