"It is with great joy that I congratulate the Trinidad & Tobago Football Federation on its 100 years of service to our sport," General Secretary Chuck Blazer wrote, in TTFF's Centennial Celebration. "I can personally attest to the last quarter century as witness to the disproportionate effort in hosting events, participating in competitions and providing leadership and volunteers in the cause of football development in out region."
"I hope your celebration is a reflection of the admiration the world of football feels about your accomplishments," Blazer added. "I regret my inability to be there with you, but I do convey all of my personal best wishes and those of my office. May this first hundred years launch an even better second hundred and your work be a light for all to follow."
