Fifa scraps Men’s U-17 and U-20 tourneys, but Concacaf gets four automatic Women’s W/Cup places
Two generations of Trinidad and Tobago football players will miss the chance to push for a place at a world youth cup tournament, as the Bureau of the Fifa Council announced today that it has scrapped the 2021 Men’s Under-17 and Under-20 competitions.
The decision was attributed to the disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Mixed response as Fenwick praises T&T’s unbeaten run against makeshift local teams
Trinidad and Tobago Men’s National Senior Team head coach Terry Fenwick came in for congratulations from some supporters but raised eyebrows among the local football fraternity, after pointing to results in lopsided exhibition matches as signs of progress by his squad.
The Soca Warriors are yet to play their first international friendly under the Englishman and it is uncertain whether he will have a proper warm-up match before their opening Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifier against Guyana on 25 March.
