Former French International Youri Djorkaeff and former US International Jeff Agoos will line up with the New York Metrostars when they visit Trinidad and Tobago on the invitation of San Juan Jabloteh.


The US Major League outfit will be here for a one-week pre-season tour from March 13th to 18th—and will tackle CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh on March 15th at the Hasley Crawford Stadium and then take on Vibe CT 105 W Connection on the 18th down at the Manny Ramjohn.

Local football fans will be able to see Djorkaeff—the World Cup winner in the flesh. The 37 year old Frenchman comes with a lot of experience behind him, outside of his exploits with France’s national team, he played with French giants Paris St Germain, Italian giants Inter Milan as well as English Premiership teams Blackburn Rovers and Bolton Wanderers.

Jeff Agoos, a long standing US International will also be one of the big names coming with Metrostars—Agoos won the MLS Championship five times and was one of the USA’s best ever defenders.

Jabloteh board member Wilfred Espinet made a plea to the public to come out and support both local clubs.

“Metrostars will not be coming here on a vacation trip, they will be coming to play as if it’s a league fixture in the MLS.”

“W are also not going to be taking them lightly, because we feel that our level in the T&T Pro League is not far off from the MLS and what better way to prove that by beating a MLS team.”

“The match will also provide an opportunity for the local fans to see the quality players the Pro League has to offer and hopefully it will encourage them to come out and support the clubs when the 2005 season starts, said Espinet.
