The Saint Lucia Football Association (SLFA) is preparing to convene its landmark 40th Annual Ordinary Congress this Saturday, June 6, bringing together representatives from all its member leagues at the Bay Gardens Hotel in the northern district of Gros Islet. Unlike extraordinary general assemblies that often feature leadership contests, this session will follow standard procedural protocols, meaning no elections for association board positions will take place during the gathering. The timing of the annual congress is strategically placed just weeks before the highly anticipated third iteration of the Saint Lucia Semi-Professional Football League, which is scheduled to kick off its new campaign later this month. Beyond domestic club competition, the Caribbean nation’s football governing body is gearing up for a packed second half of the year that will see three of its national youth and senior representative teams take the international stage. Those commitments include the senior men’s national side competing in the Concacaf Nations League, the country’s male Under-14 squad participating in the Caribbean Football Union regional Tournament, and the female Under-15 team contesting the Concacaf Under-15 Championship. The core business of this weekend’s meeting centers on laying out the SLFA’s strategic roadmap for the coming 12 months, covering both domestic development initiatives and international competition planning, alongside a series of required organizational reports. Lyndon Cooper, the sitting SLFA president and chairman of the organization, will deliver opening and keynote remarks to attending delegates, before the 2025 National Executive Report is formally presented for discussion. Delegates will also cast votes on several key administrative items: the approval of the SLFA’s 2025 Audited Financial Statements, the 2026 Programme of Activities, and the association’s official 2026 operating budget. Additional agenda items include the formal appointment of independent external auditors and the selection of trustees to oversee the association’s governance structures, wrapping up the full day of procedural and strategic discussions.
