World and regional governing football bodies FIFA and CONCACAF has responded to a earlier sent by Alpha President Odinga Lumumba making representation on the situation in football here with the aim of seeking the two bodies help or for him to intervene and find a solution.
However, a release from Khalsan Pr Inc. has informed that the governing football bodies has requested that Lumumba make on moves to intervene because they will be making efforts to do so early in the new year.
The release stated, CONCACAF, the Caribbean, Central American and Caribbean arm of FIFA has recommended that Alpha United president Odinga Lumumba not go ahead with a plan to form a third party to govern local football.
CONCACAF, by way of a letter signed by deputy secretary general Markus Katter, informed that FIFA and CONCACAF are currently working in bringing together all involved parties with the view of finding an amicable and prompt resolution to the present matter and are planning a joint mission to Guyana in early January 2013 with that aim.
“We thank you for your profound concern in the current situation involving the Guyana Football Federation and the Georgetown Football Association and for your efforts in attempting to bring harmony to Guyanese football,” the letter from CONCACAF stated.
“In view of the cited legal precepts and in earnest of the preservation of due process and hierarchical order in the administration of football in Guyana, we strongly recommend not proceeding with the intended course of action described in your sent correspondence.
Just over a week ago Lumumba had written to FIFA, CONCACAF and the Caribbean Football Union, updating them of the chaos in Guyana’s football.
In that letter the former GFA president outlined his ultimatum to both the Guyana Football Federation and Georgetown Football Association that should they fail to arrive at a resolution to the crisis by January 1, 2013 then he, along with other concerned members of the football fraternity, would form a parallel body to run football.
Lumumba today said that he will abide by the CONCACAF recent request but will continue his petition drive in case the mediation fails. The petition drive has already received over two thousand signatures.
THIS IDIOT TELLING GUYANA WE HAVE NO SAY IN THE 50% PROFIT SHARING AGREEMENT WE HAVE WITH EXXON.
