Sports Hall of Fame Inductees

First Citizens Sports Hall of Fame Inductees

Throughout several decades, Trinidad and Tobago’s athletes have provided amazing performances locally and internationally, bringing pride to themselves, their sporting disciplines and their country.

In 1984, the Sports Foundation launched the Trinidad & Tobago Sports Hall of Fame, to honour and celebrate our most distinguished sportsmen and sportswomen. The Foundation maintains the firm belief that the recognition of the performances of these fantastic athletes, who have made a major contribution to the advancement of sport in Trinidad and Tobago, is critical as both a social and cultural boon for the nation.  

Criteria for Induction

The public is invited to submit nominations for induction, in addition to nominations received from the National Sporting Organizations. These nominations must be accompanied by supporting documentation of performance or involvement in sport, for consideration. Once the nomination forms have been received, they are reviewed by the Sports Foundation committee, who then create a short list and make their final selections.
