The Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs (MSYA) and the Sports Company of Trinidad and Tobago (SporTT) are focused on advancing the cause of sport development. With this in mind, MSYA and SporTT invited representatives from 53 National Governing Bodies for Sport (NGBs) for direct dialogue on their challenges and to determine the pathway forward for sport.
The talks took place on Saturday (November 1, 2025) at the Hasely Crawford Stadium. NGB’s were also encouraged to work towards financial literacy & accountability, and advised of the benefits of compliance with reporting to their organisation.
Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs, the Honourable Phillip Watts, and Chairman of SporTT, Kester Lendore, were feature speakers at the event, along with the Director of Physical Education & Sport at MSYA, Gabre-Jesu McTair, and Head of Sport Development at SporTT, Justin Latapy-George.
Also present for the meeting were newly-appointed Sports Ambassadors for Trinidad and Tobago: Keshorn Walcott, Nicholas Pooran, Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard, who shared insights from their experiences as professional athletes representing T&T and West Indies on the global stage.
