T&T to receive Goal Project assistance for new Technical Centre.
FIFA Development officer Howard McIntosh is back in Trinidad this week for yet another visit during which he will hold meetings with the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association on the development of the local game.
McIntosh revealed that plans are underway for T&T to receive Goal Project assistance for the establishment of a National Technical Centre for local football.
“Very soon we expect that with the support and cooperation of the Government that we will have the Goal Program and specifically a Technical Centre established for Trinidad and Tobago national teams and the association and then move the program in a particular way.
McIntosh, who is in charge of development for the South Eastern Caribbean also spoke positively about the Trinidad and Tobago Government support for local football and the positive impact that cooperation with Sport Minister Anil Roberts and his Ministry can have on the game in this country
“I operate within CONCACAF and I have a fairly good understanding of partnerships and alliances that exist in the region and without fear of contradiction, I am coMfortable saying that the tremendous support provided by the Government of Trinidad and Tobago is exceptional and is by far one of the best levels of support that is given to national associations.
Our hope is that the support continues, as we are very much comforted and encouraged by the members of the Government that we met with. We are happy to see that in Trinidad and Tobago that that level of support exists. Now we look forward to seeing that the stakeholders and other partners and everyone in the football family coming together for football in Trinidad and Tobago to rise to the top again,” McIntosh stated.
“All of this is being done because of the strategic plan and the goals and objectives that have been outlined by President Tim Kee and how we are going to make it work,” the Jamaican added.
