Dexter Skeene has resigned as chief executive officer (CEO) of the embattled T&T Professional Football League yesterday during a meeting of the Board of Directors at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva.

“Where did we go wrong? […] The system failing the youth.”

FINANCIAL PROBLEMS affecting the TT Pro League are not only being felt by the footballers and clubs involved. Pro League CEO Dexter Skeene said yesterday he too is feeling the financial pinch.

The long-serving CEO admitted in an interview with Newsday he is getting fed-up and frustrated as he has also been making tremendous sacrifices and has not been paid for several months.

"I read a lot about it and went down to Aspire. There’s a Spanish guy there, Alberto Mendez-Villanueva, who is absolutely brilliant and helped me a lot in understanding Tactical Periodisation." (Eddie Jones, September 2017).

The Special Olympics of Trinidad and Tobago (SOTT) held its second ever Seaside Games for persons with intellectual disabilities, on Sunday, and involved events such as an Open Water Swim, an Aquathlon (run-swim-run) along with Beach Volleyball and Beach Soccer.

U.S. Soccer’s problems were apparent long before the final whistle sounded on a 2-1 loss to Trinidad and Tobago that ended the U.S. Mens National Team’s hopes of competing in the 2018 World Cup.

T&T exacted sweet revenge over the United States at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva last night.

Football will finally get a home of its own.
