Captain Horace Burrell, president of the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF), said he will be aiming to secure a sponsorship equipment kit deal, among other things, when he travels to South Africa to witness the World Cup Qualifications drawing.
"While there I will also speak with a number of influential persons, including kit sponsors, because it is an occasion where all the powers in world football will meet.
"I also intend to establish contact and commence negotiations with equipment manufacturers," Burrell told the Observer yesterday while still in New York, where he attended the CONCACAF Executive Committee meeting.
"We are currently not sponsored by any equipment manufacturer and... is a situation of tremendous concern. This has not happened over a decade now. We have always had kit sponsors tripping over each other to sponsor Jamaica and today we have none."
"In the past we have always had a different kind of problem in trying to keep out sponsors. They were tripping over each other for the Reggae Boyz and today, we are experiencing a reverse in that situation," noted Burrell.
He continued: "But I am confident all of these problems will be put behind us in the shortest possible time."
The Uhlsport deal, which started in 2001, has expired for almost a year now. Uhlsport, a German manufacturing company, produces goalkeeper gloves, football boots, shin pads, footballs and training clothes for the national teams.
A busy Burrell is expected return to the island today and will leave for South Africa on Thursday, November 22, to witness FIFA's pairing of the various teams, as qualifiers kick off next year.
"The upcoming draw in South Africa, which I will attend after the game on the 21st, will be very interesting. It will be a very important occasion for us as we will use the opportunity to arrange other friendly internationals, which are absolutely necessary in order to get our team ready for the qualifiers which are due to start about June," noted Burrell.
While there, Burrell will have a
dual role because he is one of 12 World Cup ambassadors chosen by South Africa.
"My responsibility is to bring a sense of awareness to the African Diaspora leading up to the World Cup. Hence Horace Reid, my right-hand man, will represent Jamaica, because I will be representing the African continent.
"I am the only ambassador appointed for the World Cup who is not domicile on the African continent. I am elated to have got that position and will use all my influence to ensure that Reggae music will be well represented," said Burrell.
Burrell is the only person not to have played football professionally on that list, which includes some of the greatest African footballers of all time.
Present will be Abedi Pele of Ghana; Liberian football great, George Weah, who has a Jamaican wife; Emmanuel Maradas from Chad in Central Africa; Egyptian football great Hossam Hassan; South Africa's Matsilela Ephraim Sono; Kalusha Bwalya of Zambia; Former South African players Lucas Radebe, Philemon Masinga and Mark Fish; Morocco's Mustapha Hadji and Cameroon great Roger Milla.
