The two officials will also represent Guyana at the XXVIII CONCACAF Ordinary Congress set for Friday (tomorrow) also in Panama City.
Apart from the CFU Congress today, Matthias and Persaud will join their other colleagues to attend a Sports Integrity – Match Fixing Workshop and attend the CONCACAF Hall of Fame Ceremony where four notable contributors to the sport will be inducted into its Hall of Fame later in the evening.
Ariel Alvarado (Panama), Jesus Martinez (Mexico), Lincoln Sutherland (Jamaica) and Joseph Ursulet (Martinique), representing each of CONCACAF’s three geographic regions, will join 29 previous inductees in the esteemed body.
“It is imperative that we celebrate the achievements of those who give of themselves selflessly and tirelessly to provide opportunity for millions to participate in and enjoy our great sport,” said CONCACAF President, Jeffrey Webb. “I congratulate and thank Ariel, Jesus, Lincoln and Joseph for everything they have done, and continue to do, in football.”
The CONCACAF Hall of Fame honours those who have played significant roles in developing and advancing the sport in the confederation.
Matthias will also meet with the FIFA Development Officer with responsibility for this Region, Jamaican Howard McIntosh to discuss the continuation and completion of Phase One of Guyana’s GOAL Project.
Guyana recently benefitted from an additional US$500,000 under the FIFA Less Privileged Countries Initiative.
During Matthias’ absence, Vice President Raulston Adams will be President (ag).
