A refreshed mission and exciting new vision will all form part of a transformed Grenada Football Association in the coming months.
This revitalization follows a successful Strategic Planning workshop at the Radisson Beach Resort (September 30-October 2nd). The workshop was led by Consultant Kenny MacLeod and attended by FIFA Development Officer Howard McIntosh and FIFA Technical Development Officer for the Southern Caribbean Anton Corneal.
The workshop involved brainstorming and prioritizing the areas that need urgent reorganization to take Grenada’s football to the next level. Presently, Grenada is ranked 156th in FIFA, and 19th in CONCACAF and the new vision is aimed at not only improving the rankings but all aspects of the game.
Youth and Women’s Football, National Teams, Revenue Generation (sustainability) and Competitions were identified as part of seven key pillars to be discussed with stakeholders with the aim of transforming the GFA.
GFA President Cheney Joseph committed himself to the process and expressed his excitement about the new vision. He said quote, “I look forward to take this new vision to our stakeholders, hear their thoughts, secure their inputs and celebrate by fulfilling all those plans. I think this workshop signals the start of a new GFA.”
FIFA Development Officer Howard McIntosh was equally excited about the new direction of the GFA. “With the consultations that will take place, we really see the possibility of a great plan being put together, that if everybody buys into it and if everybody is committed and working together, then we will see the type of development we all want to see.”
Following consultations, the GFA is working to have a final document in the coming weeks, after which its new vision will be unveiled.
