00:00The TFA cannot organize all amateur football, right? But they should be informed what's happening.
00:05They should know what's happening. They should know who are the ones organizing a futsal competition in the East
00:12or who is organizing a mini camp for kids. They should know everything that's happening in football.
00:20The forum was facilitated by FIFA regional technical consultants Ian Greenwood and David Abdul
00:25as they presented the amateur football environmental analysis report specifically on Trinidad and Tobago.
00:31It was one of the biggest analyses done on amateur football.
00:35The goal was to present the global report and the country-specific report for Trinidad and Tobago.
00:43We had the stakeholders together because at the end of the day, the TFA cannot organize all the amateur football.
00:50There's a lot of stakeholders that are organizing football activities.
00:54And also we had the second day, we had the internal staff to go more into the specific of the
01:01country of Trinidad and Tobago
01:03with the calls to action for Trinidad and Tobago and to create action points to do for the next four
01:11years.
01:11Among the stakeholders included representatives from the sport company, TTFE, corporate partners,
01:16regional football zones, UWI, world football and the media.
01:21And with the findings shared, the FIFA technical consultant pointed out the challenges and the next steps for amateur football
01:27development in TNT.
01:29We think that infrastructure is a big challenge in terms of amateur football and also the different programs.
01:37There's a lot of amateur football taking place, a lot of sweats taking place, a lot of people playing the
01:42game.
01:43It's now to create a structure, to create a strategic plan on amateur football.
01:47How can we develop the game on short, mid and long term?
01:50And I'm sure that once the TTFE has this in place, and it's normal that they don't have it yet
01:56in place
01:57because FIFA is now introducing programs for amateur football for the next cycle.
02:02So it's logically that now is the time to create this strategic plan on amateur football.
