ONE of the most anticipated events on local football's illustrious calendar arrived once again as national players, coaches and fans were given to opportunity to celebrate the most outstanding local footballers throughout the year 2022.

As he prepares a squad for March’s two Nations League matches, national senior football team coach Angus Eve is keeping his eyes on 2026 World Cup qualification and is keen to give his young players more exposure.

It seems that Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) has become a land of beggars. Our Soca Warriors have been training in their match kits? Don’t we have a training kit as part of our apparel? So, Dwight Yorke Stadium got a game because the other stadiums are under maintenance? For two years, it didn’t occur to anybody that all stadiums could’ve been renovated.

Trinidad and Tobago’s next international fixture at home – a Concacaf Nations League clash against Nicaragua on March 27 – will be held at Dwight Yorke Stadium in Scarborough, Tobago.

TRINIDAD and Tobago's men's football coach Angus Eve is in an unenviable position.

He has two qualifying games to prepare his team for in March but his home-based players are not playing football.

THE Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL), by itself, cannot develop the country's young players for the senior national team.

English League One defender Ryan Inniss of Charlton Athletic FC is one of several European-based players who have impressed Trinidad and Tobago men's football coach Angus Eve but who do not meet the legal requirements to earn a national call-up.
