THE Trinidad and Tobago men’s Under 21 volleyball team will be hosting a two-match friendly series against Guyana starting Friday at the National Cycling Velodrome, Couva from 6pm. The second match will be played at the same venue from 1pm on Sunday afternoon.
TT coach Peer Nasseir said the opportunity for the matches arose after fruitful dialogue with the volleyball president of Guyana Levi Nedd on restarting the Goodwill tour between the two countries which was halted by the covid19 pandemic.
Nasseir commented on the significance of organizing these matches. He said, “This is a good kick-off point for both our U-19 and U-21 Male teams in starting the 2024 cycle of regional and international tournaments. The social and cultural exchange is of utmost importance at Goodwill tournaments. It gives you a better understanding and appreciation for your neighbours.”
In true goodwill spirit, the visitors will pay for flights and food while the TT players and staff pooled together funds for their accommodation.
