South Starworld Strikers Football Club was a professional football team, which played in Trinidad and Tobago's Professional Football League. The club played their home matches in Ato Boldon Stadium, in Couva, Trinidad.

History

The team joined the TT Pro League beginning in the 2002 season, having previously played in Trinidad's Southern Football Association. They joined the league with the explicit intention of representing the south of Trinidad, previously underrepresented in football circles.

The club finished its first season with a 4 wins, 10 ties, and 14 losses. They improved significantly in their second season, however, going 17–7–12 and finishing fourth in the league. They maintained a similar standing in 2004, again finishing fourth, this time with a 10–6–5 record. In 2005, they did not compete because of financial difficulties, but they were back again in the 2006 season.

Gateshead Association Football Club was a football club based in Gateshead, County Durham, England. The club was formed in South Shields in 1889 as South Shields Adelaide Athletic. After success in the North Eastern League prior to World War I, they were voted into the Football League in 1919. Financial problems in the late 1920s saw the club relocate to Gateshead in 1930, adopting the name of their new town. They remained in the Football League until 1960, when they were surprisingly voted out of the Football League and replaced by Peterborough United, despite not having had to apply for re-election since 1937. They subsequently played in regional leagues before folding in 1973. In order to replace them, another South Shields club was then moved to Gateshead, becoming Gateshead United.

The history of the TT Pro League has its roots spanning back to the 1970s and 1980s when Trinidad and Tobago experienced an upswing in support for its domestic football. Several of the national team players featured for Defence Force during its dominance of the National League, which included the Teteron Boys becoming the first Trinidadian and only second club from CONCACAF to accomplish the continental treble in 1985. In addition, the national team also rose to prominence in the late 1980s after falling short by one match of qualification for the nation's first FIFA World Cup in 1989. Optimism for the growth and community interest of football in Trinidad and Tobago was at an all-time high. However, the early 1990s would mark a low point in Trinidad and Tobago football. In 1993, after a streak of poor performances, the Soca Warriors gave its worst ever showing in the 1993 Caribbean Cup after finishing a disappointing third, which was preceded by an early exit from its '94 for Sure campaign to qualify for the 1994 FIFA World Cup hosted in the United States.
