PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) President Kieron Edwards has announced plans to appoint a new head coach for the Women’s National Team while outlining significant investments in women’s football.
Speaking on i95.5fm’s IsPorts with Andre Errol Baptiste recently, Edwards emphasized the federation’s commitment to elevating the women’s game through structured development and competitive opportunities.
Edwards revealed that the TTFA has already made substantial investments, including a recently concluded six-month women’s league designed to prepare players for CONCACAF Club Women’s tournaments next season.
“We have to change the mentality and the culture of how we select players for our national women’s team. There is no longer room for the TTFA to operate as a club. This is a national program. We need to make sure that our ladies are fit, that they understand what they need to do, get them to that level, and then, of course, select and get them into that system.”
Further strengthening the women’s program, the TTFA will host the 3Ws (Women’s Warriors Wellness) Invitational Tournament in July, featuring the Defence Force, along with the Grenada national team and the national Under-20 Women’s team. Edwards also confirmed that a foreign-based college team will participate, providing crucial exposure for local players.
“We want our top female players competing alongside club teams and international talent. This is about raising standards.”
With no current head coach for the Women’s National Team, Edwards disclosed that the TTFA has begun the selection process, considering both local and international candidates.
“We’ve sent out invitations and have strong prospects, similar to our approach with the senior men’s team. We will go through a thorough selection process to find the right candidate.”
