Caribbean Football Union Release - T&T gets three FIFA appointments
Yorke, Corneal, Fuentes get FIFA appointments
Trinidad and Tobago has received three appointees on the latest standing committees announced by FIFA for period beginning July 1 2007.
As FIFA declared appointed its new General Secretary Jerome Valcke, and its new Deputy General Secretary Markus Kattner, chief of the persons appointed on committees from CONCACAF and coming from T&T include Alvin Corneal on FIFA Technical Committee, Shaun Fuentes on FIFA’s Media Committee and Dwight Yorke on FIFA’s Football Committee which is chaired by Franz Beckenbauer.
Some of the other players on the FIFA football committee alongside Yorke include Cameroon’s Roger Milla, Brazil’s Pele, England’s Sir Bobby Charlton, Mexico’s Hugo Sanchez, Liberia’s George Weah and Portugal’s Eusebio. Yorke, 35, is coming off arguably his most successful year on the international stage. He subsequently led the T&T team in remarkable fashion at the 2006 World Cup and was adjudged the best defensive player of the group phase. He is also set to make a return to the English Premiership after helping Sunderland to the English Championship Division title last season. His records says it all.
The 69-year-old Corneal, a past T&T National footballer and cricketer as well as past head coach, is also a FIFA instructor and CONCACAF sports consultant. He was also a member of FIFA’s technical study group at the 2006 World Cup
Among the others on the Media committee of which Fuentes is now one of 15 members globally, includes Tunisian Slim Chiboub who is the chairman, Guatemala Rafael Salguero (deputy chairman), CONCACAF’s Jason Hughes, FIFA’s Markus Siegler and Emmanuel Maradas who served as the FIFA media officer for T&T’s World Cup playoff with Bahrain in 2005.
Fuentes has served as media officer for the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation since 2000 but has a career in the media before that which was kick started at the Trinidad Guardian. Along with serving as the Press Officer for this country’s National team at the 2006 World Cup, he also carries out similar responsibilities for the Caribbean Football Union. The 26-year-old Fuentes was noted as the youngest of the team’s press officers at Germany 2006.
All three appointees, while based on recommendation were duly considered and agreed upon by FIFA before final appointments were made. The announcements were also commended by CONCACAF President Jack Warner on Wednesday.
A full schedule of the various Committee appointments will be issued by the FIFA early next week.
Issued from the offices of CONCACAF, June 28, 2007.
