The tasks meted out to the Normalization Committee to regularize football operations are
indeed arduous but the group is pressing ahead to reach the stipulated deadline late next year.
When the names of the members of the team were released, CONCACAF Director of Legal Affairs Marco Leal and FIFA’s Head of Associations, Premo Cavaro, had assured that officials of the ruling football body would be guiding the process to an amicable end.
True to its word, two representatives FIFA, Development Officer, Howard McIntosh and Anton Corneal, arrived in Guyana recently and together with several members of the Normalization Committee, paid a courtesy call on Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Frank Anthony, at his office, Main Street Georgetown, Monday, December 1.
The members of the NC in attendance were Tariq Williams, Dr Karen Pilgrim, Clinton Urling and Stuart May. The other member, Rabindranauth Chandrapal, was conspicuously absent. Kaieteur Sport was informed of this development through an email which stated that discussions centered on areas of collaboration between the groups and support for Grassroots Development programmes. The gentlemen also committed to work together towards training programmes and the realization of the Goal Project.
The release stated that a team out of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport will collaborate with their counterparts from the Normalization Committee and work together towards the completion of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that would pave the way for the implementation of the Goal Project.
The NC was appointed by FIFA to conduct local football affairs following failed efforts by the Christopher Matthias administration to hold Electoral Congresses on two occasions. The Committee had intimated plans to engage all stakeholders, including the affiliated associations to help improve Guyana’s football. The above forum is a progression of several others aimed at the regularization of the sport.
