PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) — A longstanding dispute over millions of dollars owed to 13 members of Trinidad and Tobago’s 2006 world cup squad has ended, the country’s Football Federation (TTFF) has reported.
The players were owed nearly TT $12 million after the UK-based Sports Dispute Resolution Panel (SPDR) and later the Trinidad and Tobago High Court ruled in their favour in a legal impasse with the TTTFF.
The TTFF confirmed payment to the players in a released issued Wednesday saying that the court order has been fully executed.
“We are quite pleased today to announce that we have reached an agreement and that the court order was fully executed. This is a major hurdle that has been crossed,” declared Raymond Tim Kee, President of the TTFF who was elected to the post late last year.
“While we are delighted to have reached a settlement, this goes far beyond just a settlement. We felt it was important to begin a period of reconciliation and collaborative efforts in our thrust forward for football in Trinidad and Tobago.”
