The Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs, led by Minister Phillip Watts, has fulfilled its commitment to the Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL) following concerns regarding teams’ ability to travel to Tobago to participate in scheduled matches.

Minister Watts, together with Chairman of the Sport Company of Trinidad and Tobago (SporTT), Kester Lendor, met today with SSFL President Merere Gonzales, Secretary-Treasurer Laurence Seepersad and North Zone Chairman Joseph Taylor to address the matter and ensure that the affected teams can take part in the fixtures.

The intervention follows reports of challenges that could have prevented teams from travelling to Tobago for competition. Through the collaborative efforts of the Ministry, the Sport Company and the SSFL, arrangements have now been made to facilitate the teams’ participation.
