“At the in-person workshop, participants had sessions on themes such as leading a national team, the role of the president, general secretary and other stakeholders within a member association, and how to balance priorities.”

In addition to input from course leader Stewart Regan, participants also heard from FIFA director of member association services Tom Gorissen and FIFA member associations division regional director Americas Jair Bertoni.

They also received insight from two guest speakers, Columbus Crew and 2024 MLS Coach of the Year Wilfried Nancy and former England U-21 boss Aidy Boothroyd.

The three-day session closed with a ceremony during which the participants received certificates to mark their successful completion of the programme before they return to their respective associations to apply the knowledge they have acquired for the benefit of the beautiful game.

“From making a consistently increasing pool of funds available for our MAs through FIFA Forward, to other initiatives such as the FIFA talent development scheme, FIFA football for schools, and the expanded global tournaments, FIFA is doing its best to make football even more global,” added Infantino.

“There is great talent across the Concacaf and UNCAF (Central American Football Union) regions. FIFA will continue to work with all relevant stakeholders to create the best possible structures for this talent to be recognised, develop and thrive.”
