The TT Premier Football League (TTPFL) is considering adjustments to its third match day of the 2025/26 season to facilitate the national men’s football team’s preparations for the upcoming FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Acting CEO Yale Antoine announced the potential changes in a memo to tier one clubs on November 3, following a request from national team coach Dwight Yorke. The proposed adjustments would see the national team engage in a practice match against a TTPFL select XI on November 7, while the league’s match day three fixtures are tentatively rescheduled for November 9. This move aims to provide the national team with crucial practice ahead of their qualifiers against Jamaica and Bermuda on November 13 and 18, respectively. The TTPFL has also been addressing logistical challenges, including flight delays that postponed the season’s opening match between Terminix La Horquetta Rangers and 1976 FC Phoenix. The league is working to finalize travel and accommodation arrangements for Phoenix, who are set to host MIC Central FC Reboot in Tobago. Antoine emphasized the importance of the qualifiers for Trinidad and Tobago’s football landscape, highlighting the opportunity to enhance the country’s standing on the regional and global stage. Further updates on the rescheduling and practice match are expected on November 4.
