Saturday, March 01, 2008
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) - Jack Warner, special advisor to the local football federation, has given the assurance that everything possible will be done to ensure the national women's teams have adequate preparation for FIFA tournaments.
The CONCACAF president and FIFA vice-president was speaking in light of Trinidad & Tobago's Under-17 and senior Olympic teams' preparation for their respective CONCACAF final round qualifying competitions.
"My first priority when I return home is to sit with the management of women's team and finalise some sort of overseas tour and training," Warner said in Jamaica recently.
"I feel we should find some form of camp for them in the US where most of them are based and it is no secret that the USA has some of the best women's teams and programmes.
"All in all I can assure you that we will leave no stone unturned as we seek to qualify our women's team for the major FIFA competitions and by giving them the best way to prepare, will surely make their task easier."
The Under-17 women's team recently advanced to this year's CONCACAF's Under-17 Championship after hosting and finishing first in Group B of the Caribbean qualification at Macoya's Marvin Lee Stadium from February 14-18.
T&T now join Jamaica and Puerto Rico as the Caribbean qualifiers, along with Costa Rica, El Salvador, Canada, Mexico and USA. Three teams will qualify for the inaugural FIFA Under-17 Women's World Cup in New Zealand later this year.
The Olympic squad have also reached the CONCACAF's Women's Olympic Qualification final round where they will compete in Group B with Canada and Costa Rica from April 2 to 12.
In Group A, Jamaica, USA and hosts Mexico will do battle.
