Investigate the missing $400,000 involved in TTFA organising of the Soca Warriors football friendly with Argentina and demand audited financial statements from TTFA and complete transparency for future funding requests and expenditure.

The Issue

Our demands:

1. A full, thorough and transparent investigation into the missing $400K

2. All future payments from TTFA using funds donated by the T&T govt should be transmitted with a proper paper trail via bank drafts.

3. Independently audited financial statements of all past and future monies given to TTFA by the Government of T&T

4. The resignation of Tim Kee, Phillips and Millien because the fans of T&T football no longer have confidence in the ability of these people to act in the best interest of the T&T teams or for the advancement of T&T sport.


Background

Taxpayer dollars are being used to fund activities managed by TTFA on behalf of our athletes. Yet the TTFA is mismanaging its funds and caused the loss of funds that was supposed to be used to reserve a charter for the Argentina friendly because of defaulting on payments. They also recently caused the T&T team aka Women Warriors to arrive in the USA with nothing more than $500 USD for their preparation for the World Cup qualifier matches. When questioned about the missing 400K, the persons involved acted as if they had no clue about the licensing fee. As of the posting of this petition, there is no evidence the T&T fraud squad has received any notice for investigation into the missing funds. TTFA claims they have submitted a report. Where is the report? It is clear they are not being completely transparent. We the fans demand transparency in any dealings with respect to money donated from the government to the TTFA and money that is being granted to persons in the execution of any services in support of our national teams.
