@newsaroundtheworld35: From Stevenage to the Soca Warriors: #riocardines proudly flies Trinidad and Tobago's flag on football's biggest stages Trinidad and Tobago international Rio Cardines continues to make strides in English football, with the young defender proudly embracing his Caribbean heritage while establishing himself at #premierleagueclub Crystal Palace. The 19-year-old, who qualifies to represent Trinidad and Tobago through his grandparents despite being born in Stevenage, England, recently caught the attention of local football fans after posting a video of himself proudly displaying the Trinidad and Tobago flag (with his name written on it) while dressed in crystal palace colours. The post came during a memorable period for the South London club, which recently captured its first-ever European trophy by defeating Rayo Vallecano 1-0 in the UEFA Europa Conference League final in Leipzig. Cardines was included in Palace's matchday squad for the historic final as the club secured European silverware and qualification #newsaroundtheworld35 #trinidadandtobago #trinidad
