The Barbados Football Association (BFA) was founded in 1910
and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2010.
Bridgetown,
Barbados – The Barbados Football Association
(BFA) today announced the realignment of its Administration through the appointment
of new General Secretary Ashley Scott-Williams, Head Coach Kent Hall, and
Communications Director Amy Goulding.
Following the
election of a new Executive Board earlier this year, BFA President Randy Harris
said these most recent appointments reaffirm an exciting new chapter for football
in Barbados.
“With the
full support of FIFA, I am thrilled to officially welcome this new leadership team
to help guide the BFA into a new direction,” he said. “These changes represent an
important turning point for the development of football in Barbados, as we continue
to work to professionalise the Association and progress the sport on the island
to reach its full potential.”
Harris confirmed
the realignment will see former BFA General Secretary Amanda James move into
the role of BFA Special Projects Coordinator to pursue her passion for
education and youth through initiatives such as the ‘FIFA Football for Schools’
program and other community focused projects.
He also stated
the recruitment process for a new BFA Technical Director was still underway,
after Emmerson Boyce recently took up the position of Women’s Team Manager at Wigan
Athletic FC in the UK.
“The BFA
remains steadfast in our mission to lay the foundations for the sustainable development of football in Barbados, and we are committed to all facets
of football including our players, officials, clubs, coaches, facilities, and
of course our Administration,” he said. “Representatives from the FIFA Member
Associations Division have been here this week to show their support of this
new direction for the BFA, which aligns with their strong commitment to advance football in Barbados and across the wider Caribbean.
We extend
our sincere thanks to FIFA for their unwavering support of this new era for the
BFA which will be defined by increased collective governance, financial
sustainability, technical, league and club development, high performance infrastructure,
and ultimately football success. I encourage all Barbadians, clubs, and
football lovers to support the BFA’s efforts to transform the landscape of
football in Barbados and more broadly, to become the leading Caribbean ‘hub’
for football in the region.”
