COPYRIGHT © TREVOR DAVID JUUL 2014 Page 2 Inspired by my love for sports at an early age I have learnt the meaning of being a team player, accepting the responsibility to be influential and inspirational to others in one’s endeavour to create greater things as part of something significantly more than ones self.

“We all have a purpose in life and a reason for being on this wonderful Earth and I believe God has a plan and he puts us into a Philosophy position where we chose a path that becomes our destiny.”

I have chosen Africa with a purpose of doing good, playing a part in “ Doing Good In Africa.” developing this wonderful continent and to be proud of being born an African. Yes I am a proud African blessed to be a blessing doing good in Africa. As an African with a purpose of doing good, of playing a part in developing this wonderful continent I am humbled by the need to serve my country as leader and administrator in ZIFA.

Guided by the principals of passion, purpose, people and accountable leadership I believe that success in any sphere is a team effort.

To take Zimbabwean football to continental and global heights, we require a clear vision, purposeful activity, accountability and

TDC JUUL commitment to serve.

Passion is the driving force that motivates spirituality, creativity, political opinions, economic status, social, or personal well being - shaping, you as an individual, those you connect with and the opportunities you pursue. It is passion that shapes my purpose in life and in business. A Purpose shared with a community who believe in shaping and building collective dreams that give a sense of belonging, accomplishment, trust and innovation. It’s this team spirit, a people’s spirit where innovation comes from working together, challenging each other and supporting each other drives my vision to reality. Success in our vision requires People to make dreams a reality. It is the equilibrium of culture and leadership that inspires people, in unimaginable ways to lead to a long-term success.

To succeed we require, vision, purpose, commitment and we need others, to be a team with a vision that will become reality.

‘The excitement of the future is we can shape it.”

“ The Dream Team”

Strategic Clubs The sustainability of the game depends largely on the quality of the Overview game as played by technically and physically developed players. Essentially, clubs need to be run along commercial lines to the extent that they are profitable entities in their own right. Profitable clubs “Grass roots football, coordinated then plough some of their profits into the development of their coach development and sound players and infrastructure. Central to my plan is the concerted effort on youth development. This will only be possible if clubs enjoy administration are essential sustained profitability. Under my leadership, ZIFA will play a pivotal elements of success in today’s role in ensuring the continued development of our coaches. There is no valid reason why our clubs cannot command premium sponsorship global game”. - Trevor Juul and television revenue as experienced in other countries. Further, I plan to assist clubs to develop new revenue streams to augment gate revenues.

Stadia I plan to introduce a new business model that will usher in win/win outcomes for clubs and venue owners. The current model where nearly all clubs in the league do not own their home grounds must be re-visited for purposes of improvement. I lead efforts to improve the relationship between the clubs, ZIFA and municipalities along the lines of the German Bundesliga where revenue sharing is common place. To my mind, stadiums must be environments where fans can visit to enjoy football, shopping and other amenities and forms of entertainment currently not available in our country.

Fans Football fans are the consumers of the beautiful game and they deserve the best football entertainment that ZIFA and the clubs can provide. Throughout the world fans will sacrifice their hard earned money to watch good and entertaining football. With the advent of new technologies, I will introduce fan interaction platforms to bring fans back into the stadiums. In collaboration with football club management, stadium owners and the Board of Directors of ZIFA, we will create family recreation, shopping and entertainment zones around stadium vicinities. This will allow for families to gather early to enjoy facilities created for them before watching their games of choice. “It is about the fans after all”.

Christian inspired philosophy and my faith play a very influential part

in my life and the way I conduct business. Both family and business are

embraced by my faith and way of life, that has seen me devote my

efforts and work ethic to the Glory of God, through Church, social and Spirituality business support programs in Malawi, Nigeria, South Africa and Zimbabwe.

“With a positive mind set and I believe in the importance on God’s work and believe this is a calling knowledge that there is a loving from God. It is my intention to work with the Africa Christian football and faithful God, who is there for foundation to help develop football with the support of the church. us, who has blessed us with so much, and to whom we can turn People are moving toward God and faith has a major part to play in we can strive for a better life.” the development of Zimbabwean football.

COPYRIGHT © TREVOR DAVID JUUL 2014 Page 7 I am continually seeking to improve, mend, and alter the overall nature and quality of my life and those less fortunate around me. This was instilled by a family that believed in positive thinking. Born in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, I received my early education at Milton Junior School, and went on to receive distinction in the final school exams. The extension of this belief saw me excel at a number of sports at school and club level. Continuing at University in the UK and on returning to Africa, I played and coached at the highest level in African Passion football and participated in the then African Champion’s League . During my stay in England, I was attached to Nottingham Forrest Football Club for a short while in the early eighties when the famous “When health is absent, wisdom Brian Clough was manager. Upon my return I won a number of trophies with the various clubs where I was coach. I was coach at cannot reveal itself, art cannot Bulawayo Wanderers – late Eagles FC, at Arcadia United and won was become manifest, strength with, including Eagles, Arcadia and won championship medals and five cannot be exerted, wealth is cup medals with Dynamos Football Club. useless, and reason is powerless.” In 1991, I was elected chairman of the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) and led football in the country for two years during the - Herophiles association’s most successful period. During this period I was voted member of FIFA and co- chairman of the Confederation of Southern African Football (COSAFA). It was then that my love for football and the realisation of its positive influence led to the development of the coaches association for youth and the grass roots football - a coaching programme and the trading of coaches with the English FA.

This culminated in the creation of the famous dream team that started the campaign with the famous 4/1 victory over South Africa which was the start and catalyst that built national pride and interest in football once again. In addition to my personal achievements as a player and coach my history and profile clearly demonstrates my deep love for the game of football. I have experienced the nerves of preparing for major cup finals and international games where one leads a team against 60 000 passionate fans as witnessed in Cairo, Egypt when Zimbabwe’s Dream Team shuttered many dreams.

I know what it is to run out from the dressing room onto the green TREVOR DAVID CARELSE JUUL turf and feel the adulation of 60 000 cheering fans roaring as you enter the field with your team. Football is about the team. You can be a great player, be it Pele, Ronaldo or Messi, but without your team you will never succeed. I am a team player and a leader who knows what it is to successfully lead; to win as a team.

COPYRIGHT © TREVOR DAVID JUUL 2014 Page 8 I undertake to make the ZIFA brand a successful one starting with the executive, leagues; the teams; referees; coaches; players and most of all the supporters. Filling the national stadium and giving people hope, belief and pride is part of what I see as being important in football development.

My passion and commitment to football development in manifest in my role as Chairman of Sandton Sports Club, Johannesburg. Under my Passion leadership, I initiated the promotion of a youth development program to encourage and empower underprivileged children in sports.

The club’s scope was broadened to embrace many other sporting disciplines and provide children and the youth the choice of tennis, basketball, cricket, hockey ,swimming, ball room dancing, karate, volleyball and soccer. The Club now has a strong and growing junior membership of over 500 children. Many youth events are held and

promoted each year. TREVOR TREVOR DAVID CARELSE JUUL DURING HIS YOUTH

COPYRIGHT © TREVOR DAVID JUUL 2014 Page 9 Having taken this decision to come back, even though I have been out of football for some time, I have continually monitored football in Zimbabwe and in particular their recent success in the AFCON Cup. This in itself convinced me that there is talent in Zimbabwe which can be developed into a world class team.

Vision for the New ZIF A and beyond:

Football 1. CHANGING THE FACE OF FOOTBALL BY ACHIEVING:-

Unity in Football – Football brings people together and can help in “Football is a passion and an nation building. It will be necessary to create an environment in which collective success is enjoyed through diversity as only inspiration having spent much of football can. With the Board of ZIFA, we would look to reintroduce my life contributing to the game the ZIFA Unity Cup as a sign of consolidating the Unity of the nation as a player, coach, administrator, which was achieved in 1987 between ZANU-PF and PF-ZAPU. I businessman and a member of believe this competition should start at village level where possible the global football supporters up to the national Level. community.” I will lead in drawing up a detailed Blue Print and implementation program of how this competition can be organised to become the backbone of Unity in our nation.

I am aware that it was done before but my view is that it left out the bulk of the population. I envisage an inclusive tournament whose format will be appreciated by the whole nation. Through the suggested format, the legacy of the Founding Fathers of our beautiful country will be passed on from generation to generation. Sponsorship of this competition will be secured as there are many organisations that would want to be associated with a united

I wish to introduce the ZIFA F.A. Cup which is traditionally an Association Cup Competition. This is of course a competition which ZIFA uses to boost its finances and was previously known as the Castle Cup or ZIFA Cup. In many countries, the FA Cup is an important and prestigious competition for all clubs as the competition starts at the lower leagues and can bring aspiring third division teams against the big premier league teams.

Football It is important to realise that ZIFA is potentially one of the most powerful brands and has significant marketing 3.

The Zimbabwe There is an urgent need to spruce up the face and football has access to a potential market of over seven image of ZIFA. before proceeding with business. From million Zimbabweans and more. Marketed from a grass reports I have received ZIFA The recent negative press roots foundation throughout the country, to be related to match fixing have damaged the reputation of culminated in the national team that need success for the game. Further, I have come to know that ZIFA is the Nation to be mobilized and stimulated behind a technically bankrupt with debt in excess of US$5 ZIFA brand, one that is identified with accountability million. During this period previous executives under good governance and success. the leadership of Vincent Pamire did well in serving Zimbabwe in qualifying for the AFCON Cup and In my previous position as ZIFA Chairman which was introducing patriots ( because of their experience and unfairly and unceremoniously cut short having been successes) to a ZIFA Development Foundation forced to resign on the verge of the greatest moment in Zimbabwe football. This I did in the interest of the I plan to work towards restructuring this debt and nation after we secured a great victory against Egypt in introduce revenue generation programmes through France. I had to make this painful decision to step collaboration with commerce and industry, government down under unfair political pressure at the point when and international bodies that are involved in global the Zimbabwe national team was most successful and football. There will have to be dialogue with creditors the ZIFA brand at its height. The much loved and still for understanding and restructure of debt together talked about,”The Dream Team”. with some level of Government participation. This I did to ensure that the Zimbabwe National Team I would look at working on a plan to restructure this was not suspended by FIFA for Government debt as it is an impediment to the development of interference because we were on the verge of football in our country and negates our vision of qualifying for the African and World Cups. It was at this national football development and ability to win time that the public was motivated by the “ Zimbabwe regional and international competitions. Dream Team Warriors. ” A brand that saw stadiums packed out at every game. In addition securing high There needs to be a structure agreed with Government levels of television rights resulted in creating a powerful that would create incentive for businesses to invest and brand, “ sponsor football. I have already made overtures with the Ministry of Finance with the view of creating a The Dream Team.” I assure the stakeholders that when Government Financial Policy that will allow football elected I can promise the nation that the old days of the investors a tax write off incentives to stimulate inward 'Dream Team' will be realised once again . My plan as financial flow to football. I plan on approaching FIFA to ZIFA chairman is to take the vision of “the Dream Team” provide assistance in the form of underwriting debt and make it a reality. with a potential of a soft loan structure that would alleviate pressure on ZIFA. This will be coupled with a four year structured financial revenue program that would service the debt. COPYRIGHT © TREVOR DAVID JUUL 2014 Page 11 the game at that level.

Football It is my intention that as we approach the preliminary rounds of the Africa Cup of Nations and World Cup 2018 the brand new national team similar to the old Make women’s football and the national team the real 'Dream Team' will be in place. The Junior League deal, the reality team, a dream team that can qualify for Administration will be tasked to organize leagues the World Cup and stimulate a football community that around the country in U15, U17, U19 and U23 age believes we can qualify for the World cup win an groups for both boys and girls for the sole purpose of international tournament.

There seems to be a duplication of roles in youth football development with no link between the ZIFA Junior League and the Schools Development Agents NAPH & NASH. The talent from schools seem to disappear into oblivion after graduation. There should be a link between the two organs and it will be my task to see that this is changed together with a Junior fulltime administration at the ZIFA offices to administer

When ever possible I like to spend time with my children encouraging their academic studies, sport, church and outdoor activities.

Family Weekend sport for me is football and always has been from the days of my youth in the sixties and seventies.

“Family love goes beyond basic I would go with my late Father fondly known as “Khumalo” to watch human rights It’s also about Matabeleland Highlanders (Bosso) v Mashonaland United (Chiwaroro) at Barbafileds stadium, or to White City to watch Bulawayo Wanderers exposing children to the harsh (Mazia) take on the mighty, Dynamos, (Glamour Boys) whom I would realities of today’s world, getting one day play for and Coach as Eagles going to the Castle ZIFA cup final them to participate in community as a 1st division team and then coach Dynamos, win four trophies and support groups and encouraging the league title in 1983, now and amazing 31 years ago, yet it seems them to play a part in helping like yesterday. those that do not have.” I enjoy interacting with my children Jason and Sabrina, exploring and experiencing new activities such as Squash, scuba diving, snorkelling, “Football brings together the paragliding , bobcat sailing, mountain bike riding and I still enjoy a family throughout the WORLD.” good game of golf playing off a 16 handicap.

I still enjoy kicking the ball around in the garden with them believing I still have what it takes , well in the mind that is.

I believe in the importance of exposing children to the harsh realities of the world today, by participating in community support groups and the need to play a part in helping those that do not have.

Football is a global family and no matter where you go in the world it is a common language across all nationalities that families identify with.

It is the Zimbabwe football family that I am looking to work with for our collective success and benefit to embrace with my love for God and the beautiful game.

We can all make a difference, with a positive mind set and knowledge that there is a loving and faithful God, who is there for us, who has Conclusion blessed us with so much and to whom we can turn and strive for and have a better life.

The great excitement of the future is that we can shape it, take our “We can all make a difference, dream and turn vision into reality, making the world a better place with a positive mind set .’ I am through positive development, this is a time to make a positive move standing up to be counted to help for the betterment of Zimbabwe Football. shape a better future for I am standing up to be counted and will undertake to shape a better Zimbabwe football.” future, for ZIFA, for Zimbabwe football for the Zimbabwean football family.
