This country’s women footballers did not only win new fans and friends in the United States during their recent showing at the Concacaf Championship but several supporters around the world have decided to back T&T as one of the favourites or best second team as the 2015 Fifa Women’s World Cup approaches.
There have been several notes of well wishes sent to the T&T Football Association for the women’s team as they continue their journey towards Canada 2015.
T&T winger Ahkeela Mollon, who is based in Sweden, said her fans there are also rooting for the Women Soca Warriors.
“Oh they are so excited for us,” Mollon said.
“There is a six-hour time difference so they’re up early in the morning to see the games and they were sending me messages and good vibes right through.
They always say they are amazed by our speed and athleticism and they were all very happy to see the team doing so well. It would be great if we can qualify which I know we will and Sweden will be cheering us on,” she added.
Mollon also spoke of her partnership with Kennya Cordner which resulted in three goals during the tournament.
“The combination worked really well. This was the first time I played for the national team in three years. Coming and linking up with Kennya was truly amazing. I know once I receive the ball on the right side and with her speed and ability she’ll always be breaking into the box.
So for me it was just to deliver a good ball in order for her to execute and she’s scored three headers off my crosses and I’m proud of that,” Mollon said.
