The FIFA will convene its 57th
Ordinary Congress May 27 31 in Zurich, Switzerland. The Jamaica
Football Federation will be represented by President - Crenston
Boxhill, General Secretary - Burchell Gibson and Treasurer
Rudolph Speid.
Messrs. Boxhill, Gibson and Speid
will leave the island on Saturday, May 26 and return on Friday,
June 1.
As a part of this Congress there
will be the official inauguration ceremony of the new FIFA
Headquarters. FIFA began its moving process in April 2006 and now
boasts a spectacular building that will bring all of its employees
under the same roof for the first time since the mid-1970s.
FIFA is also making a powerful
statement on environmental issues, as the Home of FIFA is a
"zero-emission building" thanks to modern technology that uses
energy sparingly and renders fossil fuel superfluous.
The new headquarters also feature
an artificial football pitch of international dimensions, a
training pitch and a beach soccer pitch.
