Guyana Football Federation (GFF) president Christopher Matthias yesterday said that the emphasis of the recent CONCACAF congress in Panama City, Panama last week was to ascertain the developmental thrust of CFU, CONCACAF and FIFA while sharing a measure of the GFF’s concept.
In an exclusive interview following his return Matthias stated:“The members of CFU, CONCACAF and FIFA embraced the direction we would have charted for development while insisting and reminding us that the game is more than just football, it’s about human and social development, a concept framed by former FIFA president Joao Havelange and engineered by current FIFA president Sepp Blatter.”
“To this end we must have clearly defined structures, systems, policies and programs which are visible to all the stakeholders in order gain the multitude of FIFA’s resources for administrative, technical, material and tactical development. We need to create a unique brand that could be marketed so that the discipline of football could become our country’s most loved sport.
