In a strategic move supporting national team development, the TT Premier Football League (TTPFL) has announced significant schedule changes for two upcoming tier one matches. Originally set for this weekend, both MIC Central FC versus San Juan Jabloteh and Prison Service against AC Port of Spain will now be played on January 28 at the Ato Bolton Stadium.
The rescheduling decision, formally communicated by TTPFL CEO Yale Antoine on January 20, directly responds to the requirements of the national Under-20 program. The adjustment facilitates international friendly matches featuring numerous players from across the league who are currently preparing for the crucial Concacaf Men’s U20 Qualifiers scheduled for February.
League officials emphasized their commitment to player development and national team success in their official statement: “The TTPFL fully supports these developmental opportunities for our players and the national programme.” This move demonstrates the league’s organizational flexibility and prioritization of international competition preparation, ensuring that young talents can represent Trinidad and Tobago without club commitments creating scheduling conflicts.
The Ato Bolton Stadium will now host a double-header event on January 28, providing football enthusiasts with an extended day of premier league action while supporting the broader objectives of national football development.
