Come on Beckles
FORMER Police Commissioner Gary Griffith hopes that after the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar more energy will be given to the development and growth of TT football.
Griffith, a sports enthusiast and owner of All Out Sports Bar and Gourmet Grill in St Clair, invited TT diplomats and ambassadors to the ‘Going All Out at All Out’ World Cup launch at the venue, located at Queen’s Park Oval .
Over 20 countries participating in the 2022 World Cup have representation in the TT and all were invited to the event.
Griffith wants All Out to be “one of the premier places to watch future games.” The World Cup starts on Sunday.
Griffith thanked everyone for attending and took the opportunity to ask all TT people that while they can enjoy the coming weeks, supporting their favorite team, everyone should support the Soca Warriors.
He mentioned that while the Prime Minister recently expressed his concern about the death of West Indies cricket and the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Caricom Affairs Dr Amery Browne recently boasted that we would qualify for the next World Cup, they should understand the team effort required in sports.
“Rather, it takes an entire nation rallying behind the national sports body and the respective teams for them to achieve their ultimate goal, as you don’t get there based on past history.”
The World Cup ends on December 18.
It is in this context that Griffith requested that December 19 be the start of the TT rally behind domestic football. He appealed to the Government and the private sector.
