**W. Connection Football Club** is a professional [football](/source/Football_(soccer)) club from [Trinidad and Tobago](/source/Trinidad_and_Tobago), which currently plays in the [TT Pro League](/source/TT_Pro_League). The club plays its home games at the [Manny Ramjohn Stadium](/source/Manny_Ramjohn_Stadium) in [Marabella](/source/Marabella). The club's offices are based at the Point Lisas Industrial Estate.

## History

The team was founded as W Connection Sports Club in 1986, as a "fete match" team, by brothers David John Williams and Patrick John Williams in [San Fernando](/source/San_Fernando%2C_Trinidad_and_Tobago). Upon the creation of the [TT Pro League](/source/TT_Pro_League), W Connection FC was officially founded in 1999, and promptly joined the nascent league.[3] In 1999, their first season, the club finished third in the league, while winning the [FA Trophy](/source/Trinidad_and_Tobago_Cup). Even though the club had a successful first season, the team would see even better times the next two campaigns, by winning the league in consecutive seasons.

The *Savonetta Boys* have also had success in domestic cups. W Connection have won the [First Citizens Cup](/source/Trinidad_and_Tobago_League_Cup) six years in the cup's nine-year existence. On September 26, 2008, in an exciting final of the cup, against [Joe Public](/source/Joe_Public_F.C.), W Connection used penalty kicks to claim the victory 6–5, after the match ended level 2–2, to claim their fifth consecutive title.
