The lengthy financial battle between the T&T Football Federation (TTFF) and the majority of players of the Soca Warriors team that participated at the last World Cup, has come to an amicable end.
This was revealed by TTFF Special Advisor Jack Warner at a press conference yesterday at the Crowne Plaza in Port-of-Spain.

Warner said: “I am pleased to announce that a final meeting between the players and TTFF’s representative Peter O’Connor has brought to an end the lengthy battle between the association and the players.

“The players who were on that Soca Warriors team at the last World Cup in Germany will get their money from today (Wednesday) and over the next 24 hours. We have come to an out of court settlement and the players will receive their money.”

The financial dispute between the players and the TTFF came about due to allocation of sponsorship money from the last World Cup. The matter went to court and now an out of court settlement comes.

Warner added :”What happened should never happen again. This horrid incident could have been prevented with dialogue. We have shown that what dialogue can do, no court can.”
