T&T players refuse Nations League call-ups over unpaid fees

Trinidad and Tobago's national team players, led by captain Levi Garcia, have refused call-ups for the upcoming Concacaf Nations League matches due to unpaid match fees and disrespect from the TTFA. They demand at least 75% of owed fees from the World Cup qualifying campaign, with 90% of players voting for this stance.

What it means

• Players owed fees dating back to June 2024; no payment for six friendlies in 2026
• Captain Levi Garcia: 'If we are not paid, we are not coming' — 90% of squad voted for ultimatum
• TTFA president Kieron Edwards did not respond to questions; coach Derek King may rely on Defence Force players only

This is a major destabilization for Trinidad and Tobago ahead of their CNL opener against Haiti on 24 September, likely forcing a severely weakened or makeshift squad, significantly hurting their chances.
