Apart from the sup­port of its mem­ber­ship to change the name of the Cen­tral Foot­ball As­so­ci­a­tion (CFA) to the Cen­tral As­so­ci­a­tion for Foot­ball (CAF), the man­agers of the sport in cen­tral Trinidad are set to get the sup­port for an­oth­er term in of­fice.

Ran­dolph Boyce, the as­so­ci­a­tion pres­i­dent, whose com­mit­ment to the sport has al­so seen him take on the role of coach of Cen­tral Soc­cer World (CSW) and St Bene­dict's Col­lege in the Sec­ondary Schools Foot­ball League, as well as na­tion­al youth coach, said there is un­fin­ished busi­ness in the cen­tral zone that they need to tend to when the an­nu­al gen­er­al meet­ing (AGM) and elec­tions are held on June 26.

Boyce's ex­ec­u­tive has been a dri­ving force be­hind the re­turn of youth foot­ball for the first time in over a decade, as well as a Youth Car­a­van ini­tia­tive, which is fo­cused pri­mar­i­ly on the de­vel­op­ment of young play­ers at all age lev­els.

Through Lystra Lara, who holds the po­si­tion of Club Li­cens­ing Man­ag­er at the T&T Foot­ball As­so­ci­a­tion, Com­pe­ti­tions and Tour­na­ments Man­ag­er at the Women's Foot­ball League, and as­sis­tant sec­re­tary and re­gion­al com­pe­ti­tions man­ag­er at the CAF, the as­so­ci­a­tion plans to be an ex­am­ple for the oth­er Re­gion­al As­so­ci­a­tions, such as the North­ern FA, South­ern FA, East­ern FA, To­ba­go FA and the East­ern Coun­ties Foot­ball Union (EC­FU).

She told Guardian Me­dia Sports the as­so­ci­a­tion will be the first to en­cour­age club li­cens­es for all clubs in the zone.

"The CAF will take the lead po­si­tion in en­sur­ing that the qual­i­ty of the game is lift­ed by clubs be­ing prop­er­ly com­pli­ant and li­censed. It will on­ly en­sure bet­ter­ment for the clubs," Lara said.

Ac­cord­ing to Lara, the as­so­ci­a­tion will al­so work on bet­ter­ing the ad­min­is­tra­tion of clubs, and en­sur­ing coach­es' de­vel­op­ment and up­grade, say­ing that at the end of the day, it is not on­ly about play­ing foot­ball, but rather, per­son­al de­vel­op­ment takes place.

The CAF ex­ec­u­tives are al­ready as­sured of an­oth­er term, as no one ex­pressed an in­ter­est in con­test­ing the elec­tion by the dead­line date of June 6. Lara said that it can on­ly be an in­di­ca­tion that their mem­bers are sat­is­fied with the work they've done and the work they in­tend to do in the as­so­ci­a­tion.

Lara said the ex­ec­u­tive has made a few changes to strength­en its po­si­tion and en­sure max­i­mum pro­duc­tiv­i­ty that will re­dound to the bet­ter­ment of the sport, in­clud­ing po­si­tion­ing Lara to con­test the post of gen­er­al sec­re­tary, while Ravi Ram­goolam, the then gen­er­al sec­re­tary, will con­test the sec­re­tary of Fi­nance post which is a new po­si­tion of the as­so­ci­a­tion.

Al­lan Lo­gan will con­test the first vice pres­i­dent, while Wen­dell Col­ly­more will make way for Al­lan Ram­jass to tack­le the po­si­tion of sec­ond vice pres­i­dent, as Col­ly­more is ex­pect­ed to pro­ceed on re­tire­ment.

The post of as­sis­tant sec­re­tary will be con­test­ed by Rhon­da Fe­lix, and the pair of Colville Mc­Sween and Paul David Noel will re­main in their roles as or­di­nary mem­bers, with Boyce as the pres­i­dent.

Lara said the as­so­ci­a­tion, known as the CFA for many years, ap­peared to have nev­er been reg­is­tered with the Min­istry of Le­gal Af­fairs, which forced them to have to change the name to the Cen­tral As­so­ci­a­tion for Foot­ball (CAF).
