Throughout the course of the last couple days, TTFF Media has fielded a number of questions regarding the  source of the funding  which was used to settle the case involving the thirteen 2006 World Cup Players.

The TTFF will like to acknowledge that the source of the funding came about as a result of a CONCACAF audit which discovered unclaimed commercial and broadcast revenues that were due to the TTFF for 2014 World Cup cycle. Soon after Raymond Tim Kee’s appointment as President of the TTFF in December, the availability of the funds were brought to his attention. 



Upon recognizing this and in keeping with his commitment to satisfy the outstanding obligation to the thirteen players, it was determined that applying these funds to the emerging settlement discussions was a just and reasonable action.

The Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation is today pleased to officially announce that it has reached an agreement with the thirteen members of the 2006 World Cup Squad on a matter that has been ongoing for just around seven years.

The Federation today can confirm the court order was fully executed and further details will be disclosed at a Press Conference on Monday at which TTFF officials and representatives of the thirteen players will be present.

Trinidad and Tobago’s Dennis Lawrence wrote his name into the history books for being the first (former) player and coach from the Caribbean to be on the coaching staff of the English FA Cup champions.

Lawrence is an assistant coach to Wigan Athletic manager (head coach) Roberto Martinez and reveled in the team’s 1-0 victory over Manchester City on the weekend.

Prior to this year, Wigan’s best finish was reaching the quarter finals in 1987. (Photo shows Lawrence holding the FA Cup with Wigan Athletic Chairman Dve Whelan)
