Academy sign of Warner's shady deals

By Agence France Presse In Port Of Spain, Trinidad And Tobago | China Daily | Updated: 2015-06-10 08:16

Trinidad and Tobago's Centre of Excellence, a soccer academy built with millions of dollars from FIFA, today hosts more weddings and conventions than matches - a symbol of the shady dealings of fallen executive Jack Warner.

The $22.5 million center, which includes a stadium, a practice pitch, a swimming complex, a hotel and sprawling conference facilities, was supposed to train a new generation of players from around the Caribbean.

But somehow it ended up registered as belonging to Warner personally instead of the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football, whose presidency the Trinidadian politician held at the time.
