With the club being merely a couple days old, support from Soca Warrior supporters around the world to the launch of a dedicated Trinidad and Tobago football fan club has been overwhelming. The efforts of the Board of Directors has been given an added boost by the addition of www.socawarriors.net founder, Inshan Mohammed, and Trinidad and Tobago Olympic medalist, Ato Boldon. On his role in the Warrior Nation as Club Ambassador, Senator Boldon commented, “I will never depart from what has been my singular aim since I was 18 years old and first started representing Trinidad and Tobago - and that is to support all things Trinbagonian until I take my last breath. I thank the Warrior Nation for letting me represent them in this esteemed position”.

SUPPORT FOR WARRIOR NATION FLOODS IN.
Among the well wishers communicating their support for the club was the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation’s Technical Director, Mr. Lincoln Phillips, who congratulated the club on the “bold step in forming the supporters club. We (T&T) need to really put our heads together and work towards making T&T a first world country. We can lead the way through sports. We must take care of the diamonds in our backyard. I am with you all the way as long as the organization operates with integrity, honesty, transparency and desire to make T&T sports in general, and football in particular, the best that it can be”.
FIFA Vice-President, and Special Advisor to the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation, Mr. Jack Warner, stated that “the support of the football fraternity for the Soca Warriors and T&T football is always to be appreciated and encouraged”.
