2011–12 TT Pro League

The TT Pro League is a league for professional association football clubs in Trinidad and Tobago. At the top of the Trinidad and Tobago football league system, it is the country's primary football competition. The league currently comprises 8 teams and operates on a system of promotion and relegation. Seasons run from August to May, with teams playing 14 league matches each totaling 56 matches in the season. All games are played on Fridays and Saturdays.^[1] The club with the most league points following the season is crowned the league champion. The league is sponsored by Digicel and is therefore officially known as the Digicel Pro League.^[2]

The competition was founded in 2002 as part of a need for a professional league to strengthen the country's national team and improve the development of domestic players. The first season took place in the same year beginning with eight teams. As of the 2011–12 season, there have been a total of 16 distinct teams that have taken part in the Pro League, but only five have won the title: Defence Force, Joe Public, North East Stars, San Juan Jabloteh, and W Connection.^[3] The current champions are Defence Force, who won their first Pro League title in 2010–11.

History

Foundation

Following the disappointment in 1996 of the national team, which saw the Soca Warriors fail to qualify for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, Trinidadian and former FIFA Vice-president Jack Warner proposed that creating a league to produce home grown players would function as the building blocks to qualify for the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Japan and South Korea. His proposal, which included clubs the ability to operate as business entities, laid the foundation of the Professional Football League (PFL) in 1999. Upon the creation of the PFL, Trinidad and Tobago became the first country in the Caribbean to develop a professional football league.^[4]

The league began play with just eight teams: Defence Force, Doc's Khelwalaas, Futgof, Joe Public, Point Fortin, Police, San Juan Jabloteh, and W Connection.^[3] However, the first professional season ended with only seven teams following the expulsion of Point Fortin late in the season. Defence Force won the inaugural league title continuing a theme set during the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s, which saw the club win a record twentieth championship. However, the PFL would last only two more seasons following the withdrawal of its founder in early 2002.^[5] The TT Pro League was born following a decision, composed of club owners, to cease operations of the PFL and establish a new professional league, operating rather as a corporation owned by the member clubs.

Establishment

See also: List of TT Pro League seasons

In 2002, the Pro League's inaugural members, Arima Fire, Caledonia AIA, Defence Force, Joe Public, North East Stars, San Juan Jabloteh, South Starworld Strikers, and W Connection, began play. The league began with the English-led success of San Juan Jabloteh, behind coaches Terry Fenwick and Ricky Hill, which won the first two league titles having lost only four games in that span. In 2004, the league instituted the Pro League Big Six competition, which pitted the top six teams in a round-robin following the league season.^[6] San Juan Jabloteh became the first to win the Big Six, however, North East Stars claimed the league title ending the San Juan Kings' stranglehold on the league championship.

There were several changes to the participating clubs in the Pro League's early years. In 2003, the league expanded to ten teams with the addition of South West Institute of Football, later renamed the South West Drillers, and Tobago United. However, at the conclusion of the 2004 season, the league contracted back to eight with Arima Fire and Caledonia AIA merging to form Morvant-Arima Fire, South West Drillers were renamed United Petrotrin, and Joe Public voluntarily withdrew from the Pro League citing financial difficulties.

After establishing itself on the talents of homegrown players, the league saw some of its stars depart for more prominent leagues in Europe and North America. Collin Samuel signed for Falkirk of the Scottish Premier League in 2002, and a year later was joined in Dundee United by national teammate Jason Scotland. Kenwyne Jones, former striker for Joe Public and W Connection, signed with Southampton for a nominal fee and Cornell Glen joined the MetroStars of Major League Soccer during the 2004 season.

Early success of the Pro League also saw a successor to the former Semi-Professional League from the late 1990s established. Operating as the new second-tier league, the National Super League was created to provide teams and players a semi-professional environment, as they prepared for life in the professional game.^[7] The Super League began play in 2003, however promotion and relegation was not implemented between the Super League and Pro League until 2006. Furthermore, Pro League members still must elect potential promotion clubs for inclusion into the league.

Resurgence

See also: Trinidad and Tobago at the 2006 FIFA World Cup

Accompanying the success of the national team by qualifying for the country's first FIFA World Cup in November 2005, the Pro League and its players gained international attention as several domestic players joined club teams in Europe and North America, including Khaleem Hyland to Portsmouth, Jamal Gay to Rot-Weiß Oberhausen, and Gregory Richardson to the Colorado Rapids. Coupled with the return of former Trinidad and Tobago national team stars Russell Latapy and Dennis Lawrence to Caledonia AIA and San Juan Jabloteh, respectively, highlight the exchange of top prospects for experienced veterans to the Pro League.

Trinidad and Tobago has also experienced increased enthusiasm for its domestic football league. As a result, the country saw the start of a series of knockout tournaments that have allowed teams to showcase their emerging talents. Along with Trinidad and Tobago's long-standing FA Trophy, First Citizens Cup, and Digicel Pro Bowl, the league created the TOYOTA Classic in 2005. All four knockout tournaments are played during the course of each season. In 2009, the league agreed to create yet another knockout tournament called the Lucozade Sport Goal Shield slated to be played in the first two months of each season with a unique prise money system. The structure not only allows the winner and runner-up healthy purses at the end of the tournament, but more so give an added incentive for more goals to be scored throughout the tournament.^[8]

Furthermore, in 2007, the Pro League established its Reserve League for players that were previously on the bench during league matches to have a league of their own to show scouts their skills on the field.^[9] Each member of the Pro League can have their respective reserve team participate in the league.

Along with the increased community interest, the Pro League began plans for expansion. In 2006, they took their first step expanding the league back to ten teams with the arrival of Joe Public, Starworld Strikers, and Superstar Rangers. The league further expanded with the inclusion of Ma Pau in 2008 and South End in 2009. Following the withdrawal of Tobago United during the 2010–11 season, the league announced that T&TEC would be promoted to the Pro League beginning in 2011. However, to add to the disappointment prior to the 2011–12 season, Skeene announced that Joe Public and South End would also be absent from the Pro League.^[10]

Competition format

Competition

There are 8 clubs in the Pro League. During the course of a league season (from August to May) each team competes against every other team twice, once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents, for a total of 14 games. Each match sees the winning team awarded three league points, or in the case of a draw, the teams receive one point each. No points are awarded for a loss. At the end of the league season, the club with the most league points is crowned league champion. If league points are equal, the goal difference, followed by total goals scored, and then by head-to-head records between tying teams. The lowest placed team is relegated to the National Super League, the country's second tier league. On the other hand, there is no automatic promotion to the Pro League. The league's club members vote to determine which, if any, applications for admission into the league will be permitted. Preference is given to the Super League champion.

Qualification for international competitions

The Pro League has two automatic berths in the CFU Club Championship. For the 2011 CFU Club Championship, qualifying teams include 2010–11 Pro League champion Defence Force and league runner-up Caledonia AIA. Both clubs began play in the First Round. The 2011 edition of the CFU Club Championship was similar to the 2009 structure where teams played two-legged playoffs and other seeded teams received byes into later knockout rounds.^[11] The Final Round of the competition involved the four winning teams of the Second Round in a single round-robin.

As of the 2011–12 CONCACAF Champions League, Caribbean qualifying teams include the top three clubs from the 2011 CFU Club Championship. Each team enters the Champions League at the Preliminary Round and must win a two-legged knockout tie in order to enter the group stage.

Clubs

N2.^ Police withdrew after the 2007 season and then rejoined the league in 2009.

Organisation

The Pro League is operated as a corporation and is owned by the 8 member clubs. The board of directors, consisting of a representative from each club, selects a neutral chairman and chief executive officer to oversee the daily operations of the league.^[5] The Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation (T&TFF) is not directly involved in the day-to-day operations of the Pro League, but has veto power during the election of the chairman and chief executive officer and when new rules are adopted by the league.

Having started on such a corporate structure, the league has recently taken several steps to establish itself as one of the premier leagues in CONCACAF. Upon creation, the league's first goal was to establish better crowd attendances for the games. With the construction of several football stadiums during the first few years of its development, the league created a foundation of fan support. More recently, the league has now set a new mission to create more local talent and make the players not just available for the Trinidad and Tobago audience, but for the world.^[13]

Stadiums

See also: List of TT Pro League stadiums

Hasely Crawford Stadium, home to Defence Force, Jabloteh, St. Ann's Rangers, and the national team

Until the early 1980s, the national team held its home matches in Queen's Park Oval, generally thought of as the most picturesque and largest of the old cricket grounds in the West Indies.^[14] The cricket ground is the country's oldest stadium and has hosted several domestic football league matches. After renovation in preparation of the 2007 Cricket World Cup, the ground can now hold 25,000 spectators.

However, with the construction of the National Stadium in 1980, the national team and several domestic teams had a new football stadium. The stadium is now the largest in the country with a capacity of 27,000 and serves as home to Defence Force, San Juan Jabloteh, and St. Ann's Rangers.

Marvin Lee Stadium, the first Caribbean stadium to install an artificial playing surface

In 1996, Marvin Lee Stadium was built in Macoya and is housed together with the Dr. João Havelange Centre of Excellence. It served as the home to former member of the Pro League, Joe Public, and holds approximately 6,000. In 2005, Jack Warner proposed that Marvin Lee Stadium install an artificial playing surface, citing that it would bring more credibility to the region. Two years later, through a developmental grant from FIFA, Joe Public became the first Caribbean club to install astroturf, reportedly costing in excess of TT$8 million. Low-profile games, such as international friendlies against other islands in the Caribbean, are also played at the stadium.

However, it was not until 2001, with Trinidad and Tobago awarded the FIFA U-17 World Championship, more football specific stadiums were needed. With the assistance of Mansour Ramsaran, four new stadiums were constructed for the event – Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva, Larry Gomes Stadium in Malabar, Manny Ramjohn Stadium in Marabella, and Dwight Yorke Stadium in Bacolet. In addition, the National Stadium, renamed in honour of Hasely Crawford, underwent major renovation for the competition to expand the capacity to 27,000 and would hold a semi-final, third place, and final matches.

Caledonia AIA now call Larry Gomes Stadium home, whereas Manny Ramjohn Stadium is the venue of W Connection. With the admission of Tobago United into the league in 2003, the Tobago Boys played their home games in Dwight Yorke Stadium until they withdrew from the league in 2010. Until 2006, Ato Boldon Stadium had only one tenant South Starworld Strikers, however with the Strikers withdrawing from the league the stadium now serves as the home to Police. With the additions of Palo Seco Velodrome and Sangre Grande Regional Complex, home of former club United Petrotrin and North East Stars, respectively, Pro League teams have played in nine football stadiums with capacities ranging from 6,000 to 27,000.

Sponsorship

The Pro League has been sponsored since 2009. The sponsor has been able to determine the league's sponsorship name. The list below details who the sponsors have been and what they called the competition:

• 2009–2011: Digicel (Digicel Pro League)^[15]

Club sponsorship

Club Sponsorships

Club	Title Sponsor	Shirt Sponsor
Caledonia AIA	Neal & Massy	NLCB[16]
North East Stars	DirecTV
San Juan Jabloteh	Adam's Construction
T&TEC	T&TEC
W Connection	Vibe CT 105	Gatorade

Along with a league sponsor, clubs may also be sponsored by international and national companies. In 1996, San Juan Jabloteh became the first club in the Pro League to secure a corporate sponsor with CL Financial. As a result, the club significantly expanded its operations from a youth organisation into a professional football club. Furthermore, on 4 April 2008, CLICO announced Jabloteh would be rebranded CLICO San Juan Jabloteh and remained the Kings' title sponsor until 2011.^[17]

Several other Pro League clubs have gained title sponsorships to provide each club financial stability. Caledonia AIA secured a new sponsor from Neal & Massy in March 2006.^[18] Whereas, W Connection is partnered with national radio company Vibe CT 105 and former club Joe Public was partnered with bmobile. Ma Pau became the fifth commercially sponsored club when they entered the league in 2008.^[19] Moreover, on 5 March 2010, North East Stars became the sixth club in the league to receive financial backing when they announced a two-year sponsorship agreement with satellite television provider DirecTV.^[20] Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission became the latest cooperate sponsor of a football club, when T&TEC entered the league in the 2011–12 season. Furthermore, Adam's Construction and San Juan Jabloteh signed a three-year title sponsorship on 15 April 2011.^[21]

Furthermore, league teams may also sell ad space on the front of their shirts, following the practice of international sport, specifically football. At the beginning of the 2011–12 season, five of the league's eight teams have signed sponsorship deals to have company logos placed on the front of their kits.

Players

See also: TT Pro League awards and List of foreign TT Pro League players

Pro League clubs have almost complete freedom to sign whatever number and category of players they wish. There is no team or individual salary cap, no squad size limit, no age restrictions other than those applied by general employment law, and no restrictions on the overall number of foreign players.

The Pro League has been growing in popularity within the Caribbean, and slowing expanding internationally. In particular the league has attracted players from Brazil, Colombia, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela from South America; Mexico and the United States from North America; Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines from the Caribbean; Botswana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and South Africa from Africa; as well as from Scotland and Japan.

Over 40 foreign players compete in the league, and with Trinidad and Tobago's inclusion in the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the Pro League was present for the first time when Cyd Gray, Aurtis Whitley, and Anthony Wolfe represented San Juan Jabloteh and David Atiba Charles for W Connection.

Players in the Pro League can compete for the Player of the Year award given at the beginning of the following season's opening match. In its history, two players that have claimed the award are 'foreign' (players hailing from outside of Trinidad and Tobago), Charles Pollard of Guyana and Gefferson of Brazil. The league additionally names the Best Goalkeeper, Defender, Midfielder, and Forward for each season.

Since the inception of the league, there have been six managers that have won the Pro League, including four foreign managers. These comprise two English (Terry Fenwick, San Juan Jabloteh, three wins) and (Ricky Hill, San Juan Jabloteh, one win), a Guyanese (James McLean, North East Stars, one win), and a Saint Lucian (Stuart Charles Fevrier, W Connection, one win). Michael McComie became the first Trinidad and Tobago manager to win the league, when he won the title with Joe Public in 2006. Derek King later became the second Trinidad and Tobago manager to claim the league title in 2009, also with Joe Public. King became the youngest manager to win the league title at 29 years, 198 days.^[22]

Further information: TT Pro League Golden Boot and TT Pro League hat-tricks

Following each Pro League season, the Golden Boot is awarded to the league's top goal scorer. Former San Juan Jabloteh and Joe Public winger, Kerry Baptiste holds the record for most Pro League goals with 109, following the 2010–11 season.^[23] Baptiste finished among the top ten goal scorers in 7 out of his 9 seasons in the Pro League and won his first Golden Boot, tallying 35 goals, in 2009.^[24] In addition, during the season he also became the first player to achieve 100 Pro League goals.

Since the first Pro League season in 2002, ten different players have won or shared the top scorers title. Devorn Jorsling became the first player to claim the Golden Boot more than once, after scoring the most goals in the 2008 and 2010–11 seasons. However, complete statistics and goal scoring records are unknown for the 2003 season. Jerren Nixon holds the record for most goals in a season (37) – for North East Stars. Nixon's record came in the 2004 season, which consisted of 26 games. The first foreign player to claim the Golden Boot was, Guyanese international, Randolph Jerome of North East Stars who finished with 28 goals in 2003. Since then, four more foreign players have finished as the league's top scorer. In 2005, Gefferson (Brazil) and Earl Jean (Saint Lucia) shared the title with 14 goals each. Other foreign players to win include Roen Nelson (Jamaica) in 2007 and Peter Byers (Antigua and Barbuda) in 2008.

The highest-scoring match to date in the Pro League occurred on 13 October 2004 when W Connection defeated Tobago United 17–0.^[25] In fact, Saint Lucian Titus Elva recorded three hat-tricks in the match and currently is the holder of the Pro League single game scoring record with nine goals. Kerry Baptiste has the honour of achieving the most Pro League hat-tricks with four. Whereas, Titus Elva, Devorn Jorsling, Peter Prospar, and Anthony Wolfe are tied for second-most with three hat-tricks each. Baptiste and Elva are tied for the most league matches with four or more goals (a beaver-trick) with two.
