Former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner is facing extradition to the USA on 12 charges of corruption.
The former CONCACAF president was one of 14 people arrested in May following the FBI's investigation into FIFA.
Warner has denied allegations of accepting millions of dollars in bribes and has been fighting the extradition attempt.
However, Trinidad and Tobago's attorney general has now approved the proceedings.
The 72-year-old is also at the centre of one of the key elements in the indictment - a $10m payment from South African football officials to CONCACAF.
Prosecutors in the United States have alleged the payment was linked to Warner's support for South Africa's bid to host the 2010 World Cup.
Lawyers for Warner asked Deputy Chief Magistrate Mark Wellington to discharge their client because Attorney General Faris Al Rawi missed a September 16 deadline for signing the Authority to Proceed documents.
Queens Counsel James Lewis, representing the state has claimed there was no reason to discharge Warner since the documents were now signed.
Wellington asked for time to review the documents and the arguments from lawyers representing the state.
