The Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation has called up a squad of thirty-three (33) players for training ahead of this country’s visit to Bermuda over the holiday period for an invitational tournament.
The players will be selected as members of a T&T Under 23 team for the upcoming visit to Bermuda. Several of the players invited were part of the National Under 20 team which participated at the 2009 FIFA Under 20 World Cup.
Among the new call ups include Ma Pau’s Trevin Caesar, Jerrel Britto, Ryan Frederick and Stephen Campbell.
The regulars include National Under 20 captain Leston Paul, goalkeepers Glenroy Samuel, Jesse Fullerton and Andre Marchan, Trent Lougheed, Robert Primus, Jean Luc Rochford, Juma Clarence and Akeem Adams among others.
The players will assemble for training at the Ato Boldon Stadium on December 1 from 4-6pm.
The T&T team will play for the Bermuda Football Association Cup when they face Bermuda’s National Under 23 team in two games on December 28 and January 1. They also face top Bermudan club Devonshire Cougars on December 30.
"As part of it Strategic Plan, the BFA is committed to Rebuilding the Competitiveness of Bermuda football and we will continue to expose our teams to top quality competition," said BFA general secretary David Sabir.
"This three-match series will provide a barometer of the level of our football in comparison to our counterparts within the Caribbean region,” he added.
The T&T Senior Team last played in Bermuda back in 2008 when it defeated that country’s Senior Team courtesy of goals by Darryl Roberts and Stern John to book its passage to the 2010 World Cup qualifying semi-final round.
