Football in Trinidad and Tobago

The Super League was founded in 2003 to allow the best teams from association football to play in a semi-professional environment, as they prepare for life in the professional game.

Trinidad and Tobago are also members of the Caribbean Football Union and compete in regional competitions staged by the governing body.

Since the early 1990s, many Trinidad and Tobago men have found opportunities playing football at the highest levels of foreign leagues.

Among the first players from Trinidad and Tobago to become regulars in foreign leagues were Dwight Yorke at Aston Villa and later Manchester United in England, Leonson Lewis at Académica de Coimbra in Portugal, and Brian Haynes at FC Dallas in the United States.

The Trinidad and Tobago women's national team competed in their first international match in 1991 with a 3-1 victory over Mexico.

The team is not affiliated with FIFA, CONCACAF, nor the CFU and as a result may not enter any of the organisation's football competitions.
