Football Strategic Plan On Hold
posted (June 27, 2017)
As we showed you last night, the Football Federation of Belize is again in disarray after they had to abort their congress on Sunday. That Congress was supposed to elect a new president and it failed - the second congress in a row where that has happened.

It was also supposed to approve a new budget which it did not. A look at that budget leaked on Facebook shows a top heavy FFB spending 63% of its money on administration, $593,000 of that going to salaries.

President Marlon Kuylen defends the works he has done pointing to a strategic plan which cannot be implemented now because the FFB is basically in a frozen state:...

Marlon Kuylen, Acting President - FFB
"We spent the better part of this last year working on our strategic plan and we have a document, a 4-yera plan that I think is a good one. I will share it with you. It basically focuses on the youth and female and we can access once it is approved, we can access US$750,000 per year from FIFA for these projects. But now with all this happening, it just puts a black eye on us and it's upsetting really."

The FFB is expected to have an extraordinary congress in the next few months.
