The Cabinet has agreed to approve the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2025.
Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs, Phillip Watts, also said that the Bill is to be introduced in Parliament at its earliest date.
He said the law will widen the pool of athletes available for all national sporting teams and referred specifically to the Trinidad and Tobago Senior Men’s Football Team.
Meanwhile, Trinidad and Tobago Football Association President, Kieron Edwards, agrees that the Cabinet’s approval of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill will aid all national teams. He believes the Bill will give the Senior Men’s Football Team a competitive edge ahead of their CONCACAF World Cup qualifying campaign.
