On November 18th, 2019, Trinidad and Tobago Football Association president David John-Williams opening the country's new football stadium and complex. The same day of the unveiling, FIFA president Gianni Infantino lauded the work of the TaT Football Association and John-Williams. John-Williams would lose his bid for re-election just 6 days later. Now less than 6 months later, FIFA is declaring that Trinidad and Tobago's football association is not fit for purpose and has appointed a normalisation committee to run football operations in the country. Today we look at why Infantino and FIFA made such a drastic u-turn and why might this be a dangerous precedent for football associations around the world.
