FIFA strongman Warner lauds women’s football

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) — Jack Warner is a big fan of women’s football, and will continue to do all he can to see it make strides in the region and across the globe.

Warner is the president of the Confederation of North, Central American, and Caribbean Football, and a vice-president of the sport’s World governing body, FIFA.

He hailed the virtues of women’s football when delivering the feature address at the conclusion of a regional course for coaches in women’s football held at the Joao Havelange Centre here.

Warner urged the participants to return to their respective countries and ensure that women’s football gains the proper visibility it deserves

“Women’s football is the better football,”

he said.

“The relevant stakeholders who are in positions to [effect] change, don’t know the plight of the regional football federations where the women’s game is concerned, and don’t do their part to change it.”

To illustrate his point stronger, Warner indicated he would like to invite the Commonwealth Heads of Governments — attending their biennial summit meeting in the T&T capital — to one of the training courses to help them understand the impact they

could make.

“Most of the people sitting in this room are not in positions to implement what they have learnt during this week in their countries,” he said.

“In many countries, women’s football is a bad word. For a legacy programme to make sense, it calls for much more than coaches in a course for a week.”

The course is part of a T&T Football Federation Legacy programme for the FIFA Under-17 Women’s World Cup that will be held in T&T next year.

The week-long course was facilitated by American April Heinrichs and Mexican Andrea Rodebaugh, former national coaches and players in their respective countries.

Participants from 12 Caribbean islands, including Cuba and Jamaica, took part in the sessions, where they were exposed to various coaching techniques.

The course included sessions on systems in defence and attack, goalkeeping, talent identification and youth development, psychological skills training, and physical training among other topics.
