GFA's best wishes for the Christmas


On this the season of giving and cheering, the Grenada Football Association takes this opportunity to extend best wishes to all of its Shareholders and Stakeholders.  This year was a challenging year for the GFA on the field of play.
Our Senior men’s team which participated in both the CONCACAF Gold Cup and the FIFA 2014 World Cup Preliminaries did not enjoy much success, however the Executive Committee believes the future looks bright for our young players. Our Olympic team also participated in the qualifying round in Dominica and did not qualify.
We saw our rankings move from ninety two (92) at the start of the year to One hundred and thirty four (134) during the past twelve months. This therefore has provided us with the impetus to start the New Year with much vigour and enthusiasm.
We extend our best wishes to Mr. Anthony Modeste on his twenty (20) years of service to the country as a player and Captain and wish him well on his new ventures as a Coach.
Similarly the Executive Committee extends its congratulations to Hard Rock, Boca Juniors and Happy Hill on winning the Premier, First and Second Divisions respectively.
We also extend best of wishes to our General Secretariat staff, referees, assistant referees, coaches, managers, trainers and others who provided support in the past twelve months.
The Grenada Football Association, at this time wishes to encourage its members and affiliates to strive for higher standards in the New Year. We shall be focusing on five key areas and look forward to all the necessary support to achieve our goals.
Our focus in 2012 will be on Grassroots & Youth Development, the Goal Project, Women’s Football Development, lighting of Fond playing field in conjunction with the Ministry of Sports as well as improvement of lighting at Queen’s Park ground four and Club Assistant Programme which shall focus mainly on administrative enhancement.
On this note let me wish all of Grenada best of luck during the season of merriment, giving and forgiving.

Best Regards

Cheney Joseph
President, GFA
