Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs (MYSA) Shamfa Cudjoe along with senior officials of the Ministry met yesterday with general secretary of the T&T Football Association (TTFA), Justin Latapy-George and Jinelle James, manager of the senior women’s national football team, in light of the recent claims circulating on social media in relation to the lack of support shown to the T&T senior women’s team.
Trinidad & Tobago and Brazil have very little in common when it comes to football. Although both countries are wealthy in resources, T&T ranks 3rd and Brazil 4th in the wealthiest nations in the western hemisphere behind the US and Canada , both countries have taken totally different paths in the world’s game.

There is one more quality that both countries do have in common. What or who is it?
