Saint Lucia is currently hosting a significant governance initiative spearheaded by the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (Concacaf). This weekend, football administrators and coaches from the region are participating in intensive training workshops focused on financial planning, ethical standards, and comprehensive team management strategies.
The two-day program, taking place on March 13-14 at the Saint Lucia Football Association’s La Clery offices, represents a concerted effort to strengthen accountability and operational excellence across Caribbean football. The curriculum covers an extensive range of team management domains including financial planning protocols, national team travel coordination, role delineation, pre-event through post-event management procedures, safeguarding protocols, and ethics and integrity frameworks.
Leading the instructional sessions are prominent Concacaf officials: Howard McIntosh, Director of Member Services, and Horace Reid, Director of Caribbean Member Associations Affairs, both from Jamaica. They are joined by Camara David, General Secretary of the Caribbean Football Union from Trinidad and Tobago, forming a distinguished facilitation team with deep regional expertise.
This educational initiative originated from decisions made during the Concacaf presidents’ summit in December 2025, where President Victor Montagliani announced comprehensive measures to enhance financial governance and team management standards throughout the confederation.
The inaugural session on Friday engaged the SLFA technical director, national team administrators, equipment officers, and head coaches of all national teams. Saturday’s workshop specifically targets the 19 team administrators from the Saint Lucia Semi-Professional Football League, extending best practices to the domestic league structure.
