The Trinidad and Tobago Premier Football League (TTPFL) has rescheduled its third matchday to November 9, consolidating all six games into a single day across various venues in Trinidad. This adjustment aims to facilitate the training and preparation of the men’s national football team, led by coach Dwight Yorke, for their upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Jamaica and Bermuda on November 13 and 18, respectively. Originally, the matches were planned for November 7-9, including a double-header at the Dwight Yorke Stadium in Bacolet, Tobago. However, to accommodate Yorke’s request for a practice game against a TTPFL select XI on November 7, the league has shifted its schedule. While the venue for the practice game remains undecided, the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Mucurapo or the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva are the likely options. TTPFL acting CEO Yale Antoine confirmed the changes on November 4, emphasizing the league’s commitment to supporting the national team’s World Cup campaign. The rescheduled matchday will feature key clashes, including Caledonia AIA vs. Terminix La Horquetta Rangers and Miscellaneous Police FC vs. Defence Force at the St James Police Barracks. Additionally, the postponed matchday one fixture between Phoenix and Rangers has been rescheduled for November 15 at the Dwight Yorke Stadium, following flight delays on the league’s opening night. The fourth matchday will now take place on November 19, instead of the originally planned November 14-16.
