Fredericks said there is a need to pave the way for the association to address poor governance of football in the region assume responsibility for all regional teams and the development of a plan, spanning five to 10 years that will focus on regional team preparations for major events.
“We need to look at merging the two streams into one league for proper planning and timeous completion of matches, get more women involve in the football affairs of the region and create a platform to promote our regions’ football through marketing strategies,” Fredericks noted
Fredericks said the region should also look at future developments such as consolidating the regional and local structures of football in order to take the agenda forward and develop a shared policy framework that will guide the work of civil society, organizations working in sports and government and one that will serve as a basis for engagement with the private sector.
“We aim to put in place a comprehensive training program that focuses on building technical, managerial, administrative, refereeing and coaching skills and also ensure that school football leagues at different age structures are put in place and learners are engaged in developing them.
