U-20

Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) president David John-Williams is mum for now despite the national Under-20 women’s team’s embarrassing early exit from the CONCACAF Women’s U-20 Championships hosted here in Trinidad.

It would have come as no surprise to Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) Technical Director Anton Corneal that Trinidad and Tobago’s hopes of going to the Under-20 Women’s World Cup came crashing down yesterday evening.

Impossible to coach more than one team at one time

The T&T Football Association is being blamed for the series of win-less results at the CONCACAF Under-20 Women's Championship, which is now into the final round.

Trinidad and Tobago lost 4-1 to Canada as Jordyn Huitema scored three goals  for the visitors as they earned their second straight win at the 2018 CONCACAF Under-20 Women’s Championship Group encounter at Ato Boldon Stadium on Saturday evening. Haiti held on to defeat Costa Rica 3-2 in the earlier Group A encounter after the Central Americans rallied back to pull it to 3-2 after trailing 3-0 in the first half.

It will be unfair for me to express disappointment over the three T&T match defeats in Group A of the FIFA concacaf Women's Under-20 tournament over the past week.

T&T’s Soca Princesses will hope to rebound from the disappointment of squandering a 2-0 advantage in a 3-2 loss to Haiti on Thursday, when they come up against favourites Canada in the feature match of a Group A double-header in the 2018 Under-20 Women’s Championship at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva from 6.30pm.

Trinidad and Tobago’s Under 20 Women team ended their 2018 Concacaf U-20 Women’s Championship campaign on a losing note, going down 2-1 to Costa Rica in the closing Group A encounter at the Ato Boldon Stadium on Monday night.

National youth football coach Brian Williams sympathises with coach Jamaal Shabazz, saying that a lack of proper preparation for national teams is affecting their performance at regional and international tournaments.
