THE Trinidad and Tobago Football has acquired a mobile unit from which to sell national team jerseys and are also about to embark on the business of selling national team shorts on-line as well.

The TTFA is making the marketing drive using a grant from FIFA, the governing body for world football, to help its effort to raise funds.

TTFA president Raymond Tim Kee admitted that making many presentations to as many 28 state organisation,s had brought only limited success with funding. FIFA has therefore given the Association a hand with trying to raise some funds on its own.

“We have secured a van which is being painted with the faces of national players and so on,” president Tim Kee said. “We will have this going around so that we can sell jerseys and other memorabilia, especially at our matches.”

According to Tim Kee, the Association has also engaged an international partner which will allow them to sell jerseys on the internet via credit card.

“We are hoping especially that the diaspora will take the opportunity to support football by buying national team jerseys.”
