Ter­minix La Hor­quet­ta Rangers is the high­est-ranked T&T Pre­mier Foot­ball League on a list of 184 clubs is­sued by CON­CA­CAF fol­low­ing the launch of an in­no­v­a­tive new rank­ing sys­tem for clubs and leagues in the re­gion on Mon­day.

Ac­cord­ing to the CON­CA­CAF, the new club rank­ing is based on the per­for­mances of in­di­vid­ual clubs in of­fi­cial in­ter­na­tion­al and do­mes­tic com­pe­ti­tions, while the league rank­ing on­ly con­sid­ers in­ter­na­tion­al match­es.

As a start­ing point for the new club rank­ing, the re­gion’s men’s clubs have been ranked based on their re­sults since 2017 in the fol­low­ing of­fi­cial in­ter­na­tion­al and do­mes­tic club com­pe­ti­tions: Con­ca­caf Cham­pi­ons League, Con­ca­caf Re­gion­al Cups (Leagues Cup, Cen­tral Amer­i­can Cup, and Caribbean Cup), Do­mes­tic first di­vi­sion pro­fes­sion­al league, Mem­ber As­so­ci­a­tion Cups (which qual­i­fy for Con­ca­caf com­pe­ti­tions), and FI­FA Club World Cup

Ac­cord­ing to CON­CA­CAF per­for­mances in these com­pe­ti­tions this sea­son (2023), and go­ing for­ward in the com­ing years, will con­tin­ue to be used to de­ter­mine the new club rank­ing.

The CON­CA­CAF re­lease added: The new rank­ings will be an im­por­tant part of the Con­fed­er­a­tion’s re­vamped club ecosys­tem and will be key a fac­tor in de­ter­min­ing draw seed­ings for of­fi­cial Con­ca­caf club com­pe­ti­tions be­gin­ning with the new 2023 Cen­tral Amer­i­can and Caribbean Cups and on­wards, and next year’s ea­ger­ly an­tic­i­pat­ed ex­pand­ed CON­CA­CAF Cham­pi­ons League.

For­mal­ly known as Su­per­star Rangers Foot­ball Club and St. Ann’s Rangers Foot­ball Club, the club now owned by busi­ness­man Richard Fer­gu­son and fourth on the cur­rent T&TPFL ta­ble has a rank­ing of 104th with 1,027 points to be the high­est of the 12 T&T pro­fes­sion­al clubs, and fourth best among Caribbean Foot­ball Union rep­re­sen­ta­tives be­hind Haiti’s Vi­o­lette ( (71st/1,076 points), Do­mini­can Re­pub­lic’s Cibao FC (84th/1,058), and Haiti’s Arc­a­haie FC (103rd/1,032 points).

Nine years ago, we changed the club’s name to St. Ann’s Rangers Foot­ball Club to re­flect the lo­ca­tion of the club was that of the com­mu­ni­ty of St. Ann’s.
