Central FC is the only private professional football club not to receive any government funding. This may be just an oversight, but the club feels more than justified in requesting support from the Ministry of Sport, especially considering the amount of work that the club continues to do in their community.
Several young players who were playing in the under-17 team will be brought into the senior team squad, giving the club a youthful, exciting squad. Coach Terry Fenwick will expect nothing less than a top two finish. Meanwhile, the club will continue to build its brand by partnering with sponsors like Super Industrial Services Limited (SIS) and continue its Football in the Community programme.
Persons and companies are invited to partner with them as the club needs assistance in order to continue its developmental programs and community projects, with the ultimate goal of furthering the development of football in Trinidad and Tobago. During the past season, they visited over a dozen schools and held community events in Crown Trace, California, Edinburgh 500, Waterloo, Point Lisas, Chaguanas, Couva, Chrissie Trace, Brickfield, Freeport, Preysal and at the Trinidad Hilton.
But on July 25, 2012, when Brent Sancho announced the launch of his new professional football team, Central FC, nicknamed The Sharks, many people wondered if the new club would survive long enough to celebrate their first anniversary. They have reached that landmark and more than that, they are now a household name in Central Trinidad because of the work they have done on and off the field.
