What is Wired868?
Wired868 is a Trinidad and Tobago news and sport site. Its own About page states that “Sport journalist Lasana Liburd is the managing director of Wired868 and also operates as sport editor and writer”, and names Lou-Ann Sankar as operations director.[1]
The site describes its own character as distinguishing it “through clever, analytical sport stories and blogs as well as satirical weekday news briefs”, and says it has been “a leading source for local football news”; both are the outlet's own characterisations and are reported here as such rather than adopted.[1] The site's own front page carries the line “Wired868 for smart sport news and opinion”.[2]
It has no broadcast licence and does not appear in the Telecommunications Authority's television concessionaire listing; it is a digital publication, and its sections are organised as Volley for sport, View Point for opinion, Wellness, Youth Football, Live Wire and an A/V Room.[2]
What does Wired868 cover?
Football is the centre of the site's sport output, and school football is a section of its own. Headlines carried in September 2026 included “SSFL 26: Hillview whip St Anthony's 5-2 for maiden top flight win”, dated 21 September 2026, and “SSFL 26: Adasa stars as ‘Naps' thump Trinity; CIC, Arima win again”, dated 19 September 2026.[2] Those correspond to the 2026 season the Secondary Schools Football League shows in progress on its own site, across a Premiership, Championship and Big 5 competitions for boys and girls and the Coca-Cola Intercol.[5]
The site also covers the senior national team: a headline of 15 September 2026 reported a 25-man squad announcement.[2]
Its archive carries long-form retrospective reporting on the 2006 World Cup. A piece by Lasana Liburd published on 25 February 2021 reports a 2-0 defeat by England in Nuremberg and a 2-0 defeat by Paraguay on 20 June 2006 at the Fritz-Walter-Stadion in Kaiserslautern; the same piece dates the Sweden match to 15 June, where the Trinidad Express dates it to 10 June.[3]
How large is Wired868's audience?
No audited digital audience currency for Trinidad and Tobago could be retrieved for this page. The figure the site publishes is its own.
The About page states “We average over 50,000 unique visitors per month”, without naming a measuring body, a measurement method or a period.[1] The same page refers to a ranking by a traffic estimator, which is not audited measurement and is reported here only as the site's own reference.[1]
Reporters Without Borders places Trinidad and Tobago at rank 32 of 180 with a score of 74.70 in its 2026 World Press Freedom Index and names the two established newspapers as the country's main outlets; it does not name Wired868 in the passage retrieved, which is a statement about that entry and not about the site's reach.[4]
Since when has Wired868 existed?
The site states that “Wired868 went live on 12 January 2012”.[1] That is the outlet's own claim about itself and no independent source giving the same date could be retrieved for this page, so it is attributed rather than adopted.
The site is current: its footer carries “© Copyright 2026, All Rights Reserved”, and its sport headlines in September 2026 run through the 2026 secondary-school football season.[2][5]
Its archive reaches back at least to 2021 in retrievable form, the February 2021 retrospective on the 2006 World Cup campaign being the oldest piece used on this page.[3]
Why does Wired868 matter in Trinidad and Tobago's sport?
It matters first because it is edited by a sport journalist and organised around sport, where the country's other national outlets are general newspapers and television stations with sport desks.[1]
It matters second because it reports the school game as a standing beat. Its Youth Football section and its dated SSFL match reports track the same 2026 season that the Secondary Schools Football League lists on its own site, and school football is the competition structure from which the domestic senior game draws.[2][5]
It matters third because its archive supplies dated detail on the 2006 World Cup matches that other retrievable sources do not carry in full — including the Paraguay defeat of 20 June 2006 and its venue — while its date for the Sweden match differs from the Trinidad Express's, which is a discrepancy this site reports rather than resolves.[3] Reporters Without Borders' index entry sets the market context in which it publishes.[4]
