Gary Hunt, Trinidad & Tobago's Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs, insists the friendly with England will go ahead despite a dispute between the Trinidad & Tobago Football Federation (TTFF) and its Government over stadium rental charges.
The game, which is scheduled to take place a week on Sunday, is part of an 11-day training camp that Fabio Capello has organised so he can work with an extended group of 30 players. There will be a match at Wembley Stadium against the United States on Wednesday followed by the trip to play Trinidad & Tobago in Port of Spain, which the England manager believes is vital for the development of his World Cup squad.
However, doubts were raised about whether the game would take place when Jack Warner, the Fifa vice-president and special adviser to the TTFF, threatened to take Hunt to court over demands for a rental fee of $200,000 (about £100,000) for use of the Hasely Crawford Stadium on June 1. The federation claims that previous matches have been put on there for a payment of $5,000.
However, following discussions between Hunt and Warner the game looks almost certain to go ahead.
"The government has entered in talks with the TTFF with a position that we would like the game to go on," Hunt said. "They [the TTFF] are willing [to talk]. There is legal posturing, but they are willing. That is the impression left with me today."
