The TTFA members/stakeholders at a virtual meeting held on 3 July 2021 took the following decision:
The TTFA members/stakeholders will immediately approach the Ministry of Health to expand its policy for ‘vaccine rollout’ to include the football fraternity.
The administrations of the member associations of the TTFA will make concerted efforts to encourage the members of the football fraternity to immediately avail themselves of the Covid-19 vaccinations in order to restart football in all the communities in the country immediately, upon receipt of approval to proceed by the Government of Trinidad and Tobago.
TTFA members/stakeholders consider the restart of football of all leagues and competitions in the country to be essential—with the full vaccination of footballers, coaches, technical staff, referees, and other related personnel—and would welcome working directly with the Ministry of Health to facilitate this exercise in the earliest possible timeframe.
The envisaged immunisation would have all members of our football fraternity visit the venues of the Ministry of Health to facilitate the exercise, similar to what has been done for the Chamber of Commerce, the TTMA, the Supermarket Association and other such entities.

TTFA members/stakeholders consider it necessary, for the good of the game and for the mental and physical health of the youth of our country, that our footballers return to the playing fields under safe conditions as soon as possible, for the resumption of competitive football.
