FIFA reps here to sign MoU with CARICOM

International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) representatives Véron Mosengo-Omba and Marlon Glean, are visiting Guyana to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).

The MoU, which is geared towards fostering football development in the region, will be signed at the 31st meeting of the Council for Human and Social Development (COHSOD) scheduled for Guyana and is aimed at fostering football development in the Region.

“This initiative is a direct result from the inaugural visit to Guyana by FIFA’s President Gianni Infantino in 2017 who, along with President Wayne Forde, discussed a Regional School football programme with CARICOM Secretary General, Irwin LaRocque. The Secretary General gave a commitment to pursue this initiative, which was further advanced by Honorable Minister of Education Nicolette Henry who has successfully coordinated its inclusion on the meeting’s agenda,” a release from the GFF stated.
