More than three years after the world’s governing authority for football, FIFA was forced to step in and attempt to ‘normalise’ the operations of the T&T Football Association (TTFA), the very body appointed with that task could themselves be heading to the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) and very soon.

Except for the English duo of Terry Fenwick and Peter Miller, all other Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) creditors, have been paid via a debt settlement exercise approved by the Trinidad and Tobago High Court under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (BIA).

Brian Lewis, the chairman of the Sport Integrity Global Alliance (SIGA)-Gender, Race, Inclusion, and Diversity (GRID) Sports Committee is calling on the T&T Football Association to address allegations urgently of match-fixing that have been brought to them.

“In the case of at least one player, his parents forgot to bring an extra jersey for him. So, at 2 a.m., the 15-year-old national player had to take off his Capelli jersey and walk bareback through the airport and across the parking lot to be driven home.”

HALF PAY might well be better than no pay.

IT is going to take a million dollars a year to prepare one Trinidad and Tobago football team for them to successfully vie for a spot at a FIFA Youth World Cup.

Former FIFA vice president Jack Warner will be allowed to take his latest legal challenge to the High Court in his battle against extradition to the US to face a multiplicity of corruption-related charges.
