Club Sando Football Club is actively seeking a sponsor as they embark on their historic first CONCACAF Caribbean Cup campaign. Head coach Angus Eve remains hopeful a sponsor will emerge before their August 6th debut against Surinamese champions SV Broki. This marks a significant regional debut for both Eve, a former Trinidad and Tobago national coach, and the Club Sando squad. The team has begun its strength and conditioning training, but Eve acknowledges the challenge of competing with limited resources compared to other regional teams. "We would really like to get a sponsor aboard," Eve stated, highlighting the financial constraints. The Caribbean Cup presents an unprecedented opportunity for the club and its players, none of whom have previously competed at this level. Eve emphasized the developmental aspect of the competition for the club. Club Sando qualified for the tournament as runners-up in the Trinidad and Tobago Premier Football League, while other teams in their group, including fellow Trinidadian side Defence Force FC, are national champions. Eve has opted to stick primarily with the players who secured their qualification, respecting their hard work and dedication. Reinforcements will only be considered for specific vacant positions, particularly due to players needing to return to school. The Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain will also host several key Group Stage matches not involving local clubs.

We preparing for it, the best that we can with the limited resources that are available to us, We donโ€™t have the resources like the other two teams from Trinidad and Tobago who have qualified.
