As part of the continuing efforts to assist Trinidad and Tobago football, FIFA will send one of its women football consultants and instructors to this country on Monday to hold meetings about the development of the local women’s game.

 Andrea Rodebaugh will arrive in Port of Spain on Monday and will meet with TTFA President Raymond Tim Kee and General Secretary Sheldon Phillips. During her two-day visit, she will also hold meetings with the T&T Women’s Football League (WoLF) and President of the Women’s football Sharon O’Brien. Rodebaugh is also scheduled to hold discussions with the members of the TTFA Women’s football committee and local national women’s team coaches.

Rodebaugh was part of the team that conducted a CONCACAF Coaching Workshop for women’s football in Costa Rica earlier this month at the FIFA Under 17 Women’s World Cup.

Last Tuesday, FIFA Vice President Jeffrey Webb and FIFA Development Officer Howard McIntosh visited T&T to hold various meetings with TTFA officials and other football stakeholders. McIntosh said the ongoing visits by FIFA consultants was all in relation to the efforts by FIFA to assist football in this country.

“The visit by Ms Rodebaugh, a  FIFA women’s football consultant, is another way of FIFA’s effort to help the TTFA and football in your country,” McIntosh said.  

“Again we have realized that the plans for the development of local football as put forward by President Tim Kee and the General Secretary Phillips shows us that concerted efforts are being made by the TTFA. We know there are major challenges but we must get the work done and we are about offering assistance in the various areas to see how best we can help with the development of the game here, “McIntosh added.

Trinidad and Tobago will host the Women’s Caribbean Finals in August and currently the T&T Senior Women’s Team is preparing for this tournament as they attempt to qualify for the next FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada.
