Having previously insisted that T&T’s U-17 women would be serious contenders in the Fifa U-17 Women’s World Cup in T&T in September, technical director of women’s football in T&T Even Pellerud is now even more confident in his side. Almost a year and a half ago, the Norwegian was given the job of transforming women’s football in T&T as well as the greater and more pressing task of creating a successful side for the U-17 WWC. The 56-year-old’s challenge was to take inexperienced players and train them to challenge international teams within two years.
