Representatives of the National Football Federations in CARICOM;
Dr. Douglas Slater, Assistant Secretary-General, Human and Social Development and other Members of Staff of the CARICOM Secretariat;
Ladies and Gentlemen.
It is a real pleasure for me to be signing this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) on behalf of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).
This Ceremony today has its genesis in 2017, when Mr Infantino paid a courtesy call on me here at the Secretariat headquarters in Guyana. We agreed then, that our objective was to work together to promote football in the Region as a sport and as an avenue to channel the energies of our youth in a positive direction.
