‘Travesty of logic and justice’, ‘attempted coup’, ‘cover-up’: TTFA officials condemn Fifa intervention" was the title of popular Trinidad & Tobago online sports media company Wired868 when the news broke that FIFA will be implementing a normalization committee to run the Trinidad & Tobago Football Association daily affairs. The decision was made three months after United TTFA group who won the General Election in November, 26-20 to defeat the previous administration run by FIFA puppet David John-Williams. 

In just a short-time in office, the United TTFA acquired three international and local sponsorships, hired a full-time technical staff, approved a program called the North American Talent Identification Player Pool Programme to include Trinbagonian 27 scouts in football living outside of Trinidad & Tobago to scout for players eligible to represent the national teams. With the assistance of the TIPP players, the U-20 Women advanced to the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF qualifiers. United TTFA was trending the TTFA in a positive direction. 

From 2015-2018, the John-Williams administration ran the association into the ground and left a debt totaling TT$50 million. In its first 100 days, the United TTFA  President William Wallace and his executive team developed a financial plan with measures to rid the association of its debt in the next 3 years. On March 17, 2020, FIFA, the governing body of world football erroneously instituted a normalization committee to be led by former John-Williams embattled accountant Tyril Patrick without notifying President Wallace of their decision. FIFA had four years during the John-Williams administration to implement this committee but failed to do so. Their puppet is no longer in office, so they decided to unlawfully swoop in and implement a Coup to remove President Wallace and his three Vice-Presidents from office. This is WRONG and has left many TTFA supporters like myself asking questions. Many Trinidad & Tobago football stars past and current have chimed in and are extremely upset with this decision. . 

We are asking you to please sign this petition today to re-instate the United TTFA to the office of the Trinidad & Tobago Football Association. FIFA is playing a dangerous game of dirty politics that will drive supporters like us away from football in Trinidad & Tobago FOREVER. 

- One of millions of Trinidad & Tobago Football supporters around the world
