The Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation (TTFF) had to take legal action against their government's minister of sport, Gary Hunt, after trying to introduce the new agreement just two weeks before the prestigious international.

The game will go ahead at the 27,000-capacity Hasely Crawford Stadium in the Trinidadian capital Port of Spain on June 1.

TTFF spokesman Shaun Fuentes said: "We thought that all along the ministry of sport would in the long run realise that it had a case out of its favour.

"When you have an entire nation looking forward to an event - a special day in its history, particularly sporting wise - it was always going to be difficult to deny the masses such an experience and as such the ministry had to give in."
