FOOTBALL’S WORLD GOVERNING body, FIFA, has made a decision to move its regional office to Barbados, a move that should be completed by the end of next month.

And president of the Barbados Football Association (BFA), Randy Harris, believes the move would assist the country and the region at large.

“The move is a plus for the country and the region, and I am hopeful that the countries of the Caribbean will be in a better position to get a lot more assistance than previously. FIFA now has a director of development for Africa and the Caribbean, Veron Mosengo-Oomba, who has shown that his interest is in the development and future of the developing nations of FIFA,” he said. The current office is in Jamaica.
