Welcome to the Congress

To our Member Associations’ Presidents, Delegates and Guests,

We begin this welcome letter for our 34th Concacaf Ordinary Congress with a great sense of pride about Concacaf. As we look back on last year — in fact, the last three years since our administration took office — it is remarkable how much our organization has accomplished on our journey to move football forward throughout the region. We are ONE family that works within a culture defined by a love for our game, with ONE mutual goal of becoming champions, on and off the field.

Guided by our brand pillars of Unity, Football, Quality and Access, we continue to make excellent progress in the execution of our regional strategy. As a result, we are happy to report on another record year for our Confederation.

First, from a competition standpoint, we have seen the introduction and expansion of tournaments aimed at raising the quality of Concacaf’s football, while creating more access to all of the game’s stakeholders.

• There is tremendous pride in the launch of the Concacaf Nations League. When we see the results and emotions from our federation’s presidents, coaches, players, fans and the media, we can already perceive how our joint efforts are generating benefits of increased competition and development for the Confederation as a whole. • The expansion of the Concacaf Gold Cup, from 12 to 16 nations, is another signature achievement. More importantly, for the first time in the 15 editions of the competition, we are bringing our top national team championship to a Caribbean and Central American pitch. • The expanded Concacaf Club Competition Platform includes the Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League (SCCL) – as well as the Scotiabank Concacaf League (SCL) – which gives the opportunity for more teams to compete. The Flow Caribbean Club Championship and Concacaf Caribbean Club Shield provide a direct pathway to the Confederation’s top regional club championships. • Winning the bid to host the FIFA World Cup 2026 in our region is a big source of pride for the entire Concacaf family and the Member Associations of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Thanks to a collaborative strategy and the solidarity of all our federations, we will make history by hosting for the first time a 48-team World Cup in three countries.

Second, we remain focused on key development initiatives across professional football, youth development, coaching education and refereeing.

• Since 2016, we have increased our investment by 43 percent in our One Concacaf Funding Program (OCP) - a platform to help boost the development efforts of our 41 Member Associations- as well as in technical, refereeing and professional football development.

As a first step in this grassroots Football for Development approach, Concacaf, in partnership with a few of its Member Associations, has piloted the Next Play Local staff identified a wide range of social issues faced by young people on the program. This grassroots initiative is aimed at exposing school-age children to program, most notably a lack of access to good education, poverty and the game of football and mentoring them to promote healthy lifestyles and irregular employment, single parenting, teenage pregnancy, drug use and citizenship skills.

More broadly the program faced problems recruiting volunteers as sport is not really recognized as an employment pathway, there is no real volunteer culture locally and the program has not yet gained traction with the wider community. The view of the local coordinator is that the volunteering program would be benefit from proper training and kit.

Female participation was also flagged locally as an issue. Football is seen a ‘masculine’ sport so investment in female coaches and role models should be a priority; after all, the girls who have participated were enthusiastic and regular attendees.

Overall, Next Play in St. Vincent and The Grenadines has been viewed locally as a great success:

“Next Play is doing something really important and can change the way football is viewed locally. If we can continue… it can provide a development pathway and impact on kids’ confidence and lives... the education of coaches, volunteers and parents is key.” Theon Gordon, Next Play Project Coordinator

The Football for Development approach is a new concept for many involved but was seen as an exciting opportunity for the positive social impact achievable through a pathway young people enjoy (football). Input and support from experienced practitioners in this field would help develop the program, along with clear indicators for staff to know their work was effective.

The enthusiasm for Next Play by staff and participants is clear from the feedback and statistics gathered during this pilot program - and the importance of coach education and development to enable the project to reach its full potential is evident too.

Sustainability

Sustainability is a consistent and recurring theme across all islands in the Next Play pilot program with general feedback that a number of grassroots programs come and go – often with the best of intentions – but that to create real change we need longer-term support and investment. It should be noted, however, that this was not purely a call for Concacaf to invest but an acknowledgement that a wider group of stakeholders need to be mobilized to promote and grow Next Play locally, regionally and internationally. The following stakeholders were mentioned as having the capacity to help create change in grassroots development via Next Play:

- Concacaf

- Business (Corporate sponsorships, Corporate and Social responsibility)

- Government departments

- International Charities and NGOs

“There is a real opportunity for Next Play to align itself with major international priorities and initiatives if it can present its impact and methodology in the right way… which could bring additional resources to grow and sustain the program.” International NGO feedback
