PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Officials from England’s bid for the 2018 World Cup will be the special guests at the ordinary congress of the Caribbean Football Union which takes place over the weekend.
David Dein, head of the bid committee, will be part of the delegation that arrives in the two-island republic on today.
Dein, a former vice-chairman of Arsenal, was appointed to his position less than two weeks ago, and is expected to address the Congress on Friday night in one of his first international trips since being appointed.
“The English FA and the CFU are part of the same family; we are the family of football,” said CFU President Jack Warner.
“The English FA has always been a friend of the Caribbean region, and any friendship is essentially a partnership.”
The partnership will see the FA co-hosting the CFU’s annual gala dinner, which is scheduled to take place on Friday at the Port of Spain Ballroom of the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
