Anton Corneal, a FIFA technical Development Officer is calling on the winner of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) upcoming presidential elections to demonstrate proper governance.
According to a press release, Trinidadian Corneal said that the new executive, “apart from having a holistic plan for the development of the game, must understand the importance of proper governance.”
Come November 14, the GFF will stage its Electoral Congress where one of two slates headed by Chairman of the Alliance for Change (AFC) and Attorney-At-Law Nigel Hughes and Fruta Conquerors Football Club president and businessman Wayne Forde will contest the top post.
Corneal, who is responsible for overseeing the development of FIFA’s affiliates in the Caribbean said:“Whichever slates gets into power, they have to understand the importance of proper governance because that is what is going to support the product, which is the game and the players and its long overdue for Guyana because Guyana has always produced decent teams, even in not so best times.
“I think with a proper structure and long term plan, you will get a better product, so hopefully whoever takes over, they will continue what the Normalisation Committee did because they’ve done a phenomenal job because remember that they were just in place for a little over a year and all that was accomplished within that year and now it’s time to pass on the baton.”
