We were committed to a comprehensive strategy for our FIFA World Cup drive, which was derailed by our eviction from the tournament. However we will not be daunted, we will recognize our mistakes and pursue improvements in all facets of the local game. Barney Callender Nicole Puckerin Our finances have continued to be problematic. One of the Treasurer Assistant Treasurer areas of concern is that the FIFA Assistance Programme (FAP) of US$250.000, has been subsidizing our local and international competitions,( which should be our main revenue earners), courses and Seminars, as well as covering the expenses of administration and maintenance. The Board in an effort to be more self-sufficient, has offered season tickets on sale to the public, as a means of raising additional funds, and at the same time offering the opportunity to our Member Clubs to benefit from this venture by earning 25% of the sales to their supporters. Junior Allsopp Gregory Thompson Member Member We must recognize that the FAP is not a right but a privilege, we cannot continue to take it for granted, we must work together for the success of the game of football. Finally, I must commend the Board for its unwavering guidance, to the Sponsors, Government and its agencies, the Media and you the football family for your continued support.

    Building on the two prior CIES governance studies, this is the third FIFA-mandated research analysing governance relationships in football. This book focuses on those Editions CIES between football’s employers (clubs, leagues and even NAs) and its labour force. Based on a sample of forty countries across all six confederations and questionnaires from players’ associations, leagues and national associations, this research surveys and compares the diverse ‘management-labour’ approaches and scenarios in both men and women’s professional football worldwide. GOVERNANCE RELATIONSHIPS The authors place a special focus on players’ associations and highlight the variety of IN FOOTBALL BETWEEN structures found world-wide. The findings here contribute to a better understanding MANAGEMENT AND LABOUR of the systems, models and relationships in place around the globe when it comes to PLAYERS, CLUBS, LEAGUES & NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS ‘management’ and ‘labour’. This book explores the representation of Kevin Tallec Marston, Camille Boillat & Fernando Roitman players within decision-making structures at club, league and national association level as well as the regulatory contexts and negotiation instruments linking players and management - such as collaborative agreements/MoUs, CBAs, minimum contract requirements and dispute resolution. In addition, this study provides a first ever global exploration of some of the inner workings of players’ associations and an overview of the key issues in professional football from the player’s perspective. The final chapter offers several models and frameworks illustrating the governance relationships between players and management. All three authors work at the International Centre for Sport Studies (CIES). Kevin Tallec Marston earned his PhD in history and works as research fellow and academic projects manager.

  • Flow Concacaf Caribbean Club Championship
    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.

  • Off Pitch: Football's Financial Integrity Weaknesses, and How to Strengthen
    Off Pitch: Football’s financial integrity weaknesses, and how to strengthen them Matt Andrews and Peter Harrington CID Working Paper No. 311 January 2016 Copyright 2016 Andrews, Matt; Harrington, Peter; and the President and Fellows oF Harvard College Working Papers Center for International Development at Harvard University Off Pitch: Football’s financial integrity weaknesses, and how to strengthen them Matt Andrews and Peter Harrington1 Abstract Men’s professional football is the biggest sport in the world, producing (by our estimate) US $33 billion a year. All is not well in the sector, however, with regular scandals raising questions about the role of money in the sport. The 2015 turmoil around FIFA is obviously the most well known example, creating a crisis in confidence in the sector. This study examines these questions, and the financial integrity weaknesses they reveal; it also offers ideas to strengthen the weaknesses. The study argues that football’s financial integrity weaknesses extend far beyond FIFA. These weaknesses have emerged largely because the sector is dominated by a small elite of clubs, players and owners centered in Europe’s top leagues. The thousands of clubs beyond this elite have very little resources, constituting a vast base of ‘have-nots’ in football’s financial pyramid. This pyramid developed in recent decades, fuelled by concentrated growth in new revenue sources (like sponsorships, and broadcasting). The growth has also led to increasingly complex transactions—in player transfers, club ownership and financing (and more)—and an expansion in opportunities for illicit practices like match-fixing, money laundering and human trafficking. We argue that football’s governing bodies – including FIFA – helped establish this pyramid.

Funge como herramienta de tutela, pero nunca puede ser considerada como el total del material que un participante debe abordar. Una Guía no debe brindar un gran cúmulo de información, U por el contrario, debe dejar que el Delegado recorra su propio camino de investigación. Allí está la esencia de los Modelos de Naciones Unidas. El participante debe diagramar y C seguir su personal y único recorrido de investigación. La Guía operará preguntas, cuestionamientos y disparadores para orientar al Delegado. Solo eso. El texto, además, explicará muy superficialmente el tópico y brindará recomendaciones con el fin de dar un B punto de partida al participante. El mérito de un buen Delegado recae en una investigación intensa, personalizada y con un profundo análisis interpretativo de los A datos.
