Despite Trinidad and Tobago's Digicel Caribbean Cup failure, the T&T Football Federation's technical adviser Keith Look Loy believes the country still made good progress during the year. The Soca Warriors, the men's senior national side, struggled in the DCC Finals in Martinique, losing their first two group games to miss out on the semi-finals and a place in next year's Concacaf Gold Cup. "I think on a different front there was a fair amount of progress made," Look Loy said.
"And I'm referring here to women's football where for the first time we established a coherent women's programme which deals with a pool of age group players from Under-13 and Under-15 come right up which is now a development path for players to move into various national teams." T&T were impressive in the Fifa Under-17 Women's World Cup which they hosted, finishing third in Group A after winning one of their three games in the preliminary round stages. They beat Chile 2-1 in their opening fixture but lost 2-1 to Nigeria and 1-0 to eventual semi-finalists Korea DPR in spirited performances.
