Members of the Trinidad and Tobago Senior Women’s team have received their match wages for the recent FIFA Intercontinental Women’s World Cup Qualifier against Ecuador.

This was revealed by the TTFA via a press release yesterday which stated that cheques were provided to players present in Trinidad while team manager Vernetta Flanders and captain Maylee Attin-Johnson collected for those who are away from Trinidad at this time. 

The match fee per player was $3200 while a stipend total of $4480 was also provided. 

In addition, the TTFA has made available a gratuity of $3200, which will be wired to both players and members of the technical staff.  

Flanders expressed gratitude on behalf of the Women Warriors to the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association for the payments which represent the first ever match fee collected by women’s senior national team players. 

“It’s been a long campaign for everyone on the team including players and staff and we wish to say thank you to the TTFA and those who ensured the players in particular were able to receive their payments before the holiday period.

The experience has been one of a lifetime for everyone in the team and again we appreciate the efforts of the association,” Flanders said.

Longstanding T&T player Tasha St. Louis also added “The FA came through for us and we received more resources and payment over the last three months than we have received since over the ten years or more that I’ve been a part of the program.” 

TTFA President Raymond Tim Kee stated that he was pleased that the TTFA was able to complete the payments, also expressing gratitude to the Government for its partnership with the TTFA during the campaign including the $50,000 bonus the TTFA initiated in its discussions with Minister of Sport Rupert Griffith and Minister of National Security Gary Griffith. 

Tim Kee also relayed that Randy Waldrum has already submitted a plan for 2015 going forward for the National Women’s program with proposed training matches in early 2015 and preparations for the Pan American Games in Canada in August.
