The 2025 Edi­tion of the Women’s Foot­ball League (WoLF) will kick off Sat­ur­day with two match­es at the Ato Boldon Sta­di­um in Bal­main, Cou­va, from 3 pm. 

There will not be an open­ing cer­e­mo­ny to her­ald its open­ing, but rather a gath­er­ing of team rep­re­sen­ta­tives who will re­ceive to­kens for their par­tic­i­pa­tion last year, said the WoLF’s Pub­lic Re­la­tions Of­fi­cer, Kamile De Gale. 

The for­mat will take on a unique struc­ture this sea­son as at­tempts are un­der­way to elim­i­nate the sys­tem of hav­ing a To­ba­go team face a Trinidad team in the fi­nal as has been done in the past. 

In­stead, the tour­na­ment will seek to have the best teams square off. 

Three groups will make up the com­po­si­tion of the tour­na­ment, with a To­ba­go group fea­tur­ing To­ba­go Chi­cas, Jew­els FC, Com­bined Ballers, and Black Pan­thers, as well as two Trinidad groups. The first group will see bat­tles among League champs Club San­do, De­fence Force, Ter­minix La Hor­quet­ta Rangers, Matu­ra Re­Unit­ed, and Trinci­ty Na­tion­als, while Group 2 will be Diego Mar­tin Cen­tral, Ath­let­ic In­ter­na­tion­al Acad­e­my (AIA), Pi­o­neers FC, Po­lice, and the Uni­ver­si­ty of TT (UTT). 

De Gale said from the group stage, each team will play each oth­er twice at home and away be­fore play­ing five oth­er ran­dom teams out of the group for the right to qual­i­fy for the Knock Out Play-Offs, which will com­prise four teams based on points.

Last year Club San­do claimed the league ti­tle by beat­ing AC Port of Spain in the fi­nal. De­fence Force clinched the third-place prize while Trinci­ty Na­tion­als was fourth. The top three teams will all be re­ward­ed for their ef­forts on Sat­ur­day with checks for $30,000 for the win­ners, $25,000 for the sec­ond-placed team, and $20,000 for the third. 

And for the Cup Tour­na­ment, the Army Coast Guard Com­bi­na­tion women’s team placed first, ahead of Club San­do. 

On Sun­day, there would al­so be two match­es at the same venue fea­tur­ing Po­lice and Black Pan­thers from 2 pm, while two hours lat­er, De­fence Force will clash with To­ba­go Chi­cas at 4 pm.

De Gale said for the open­ing match­es on Sat­ur­day they will mon­i­tor the sta­tus of the To­ba­go teams to de­ter­mine their avail­abil­i­ty for the match­es.
