Not sure what the average salaries are like but there are a few big clubs in the Caribbean that pay fairly well.

So could some one tell us how much do they get paid? I hear Trinidad & Tobago has a good Professional League so they should get decent pay in that league

Again....not too sure what the pay structure is like in TT, but I understand that there's at least 1 big club that pay extremely well. That club is called W Connection football club. They apparently have a couple of Brazilian and Colombian players there.

Any TT fans on this board, please post a link to the site.

Interesting........I wonder what Guatemalan club players' salaries are like?

I remember reading an article few years ago, that a Guatemalan club named Communicaciones tried to sign a TT player and he turned them down. I wonder why? ;)

I wonder why? ;) hahahaa, Comunicaciones is one of the richest clubs in CA. they have been known to pay up to US$ 130,000 or more to the GOOD foreign players. TT player probably didnt deserve much pay. ;). but they still SUCK , they lost 0-4 to my team today :D .

why do you think costa rican and other central american players love playing in guatmala???, they even become guatemalan citizens so they wont fill up a foreign player spot on a roster.

wow...that's pretty good money. That kind of money must be for top players. I can't see the average club player in guats making that type of dough....but then again, I could be wrong.

How many Guats clubs have made the Concacaf champions cup tournaments? I'm just curious cuz I'm familiar with CR teams Saprissa and Alajuense usually being in it...and well from the Carribbean, I've seen teams like San Juan Jabloteh FC, W Connection FC, Defence Force from TT, and Arnett Gardens and Harborview FC of Jamaica.

Municpal guatemala's powerhouse make it every year and the Comunicaciones ,and Antigua . Municpal won the whole thing a long time ago

yes guatemala playas make the top money but the forigners make more money 300,000 usd to 450,000 usd a year

Currently the GNL is the has the highest income in Central America then CRC then Honduras, then el salvador, then panama and nicaragua and the lowest paid belize but the average player in the GNL can make a good 20,000 usd a year which goes a long way there and other poor countries in the concacaf area . think about it if u spend US dollars in any other C.A. or carribean country that money goes really far. USA is a wealty country so 20,000 is almost poverty like here in the states. but not in C.A. or the carribean thats good dough

but also keep in mind that some players would like to keep there annual wages private to protect there loved ones from being kidnapped for ransome money. they like to down play what there really making this is happens alot espcialy in mexico,brazil,colombia and some C.A. countries

Thanks for the insight Guatefc. I'm sure that money goes a very long way in Central America and you're right players may not want to reveal their salaries to the general public that easy....but fans pay for players salaries in pro sports. They(fans) have a right to know what players make.

So I guess that Municipal is the big team in Guats? So exactly how many Carribbean players play in Guatemala?
