A FIFA mandate has forced the Kingston and St Andrew Football Association (KSAFA) to divide itself into two separate associations representing the two parishes, according to a release from the KSAFA. As of December 20, there will be the Kingston Football Association and the St Andrew Football Association.
JamaicaWIN.com has been informed the current KSAFA president Rudolph Spied will seek the presidency of the St Andrew FA, while Boys Town executive Stephen Bell is the front runner for the presidency of Kingston.
Below is the full text of a release by KSAFA dated December 8, 2008.
For Immediate Release
The Kingston & St. Andrew Football Association (KSAFA) had convened a special meeting with its Affiliates on December 1, 2008 based on a verbal advisory from the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF).
The JFF at a Board Meeting held on November 13, 2008 informed members that the JFF statute which is expected to be ratified by FIFA would see far-reaching changes. One of the suspected changes, should the statute be sanctioned, would be the recognition of KSAFA as one Parish. The implications are that KSAFA would lose 5 of its 10 votes at the JFF congress, financial assistance from the JFF will be affected and there would be a reduction of the number of team allocated to play in JFF competitions and with it threats to the Confederation status.
KSAFA at the special meeting on December 1, 2008 informed the Clubs about the expected JFF changes and the implications that it would face. As a result an overwhelming majority of the Clubs decided that KSAFA should recognize the individual Parishes in the Confederation and thereafter inform the JFF of their decision.
The same meeting charged KSAFA with overseeing this process.
In that regard we now advise of the following:
• Election of Officers for the 2 KSAFA Parish Associations has been scheduled for December 20, 2008. Further to that, nominations are now open for the posts of President, 1st and 2nd Vice Presidents and an Executive Officer in both Parishes.
• Nomination Forms can be collected from the KSAFA Secretariat and should be returned on or before closing hours on December 12, 2008.
• The Clubs have been placed in a Parish, STRICTLY by geographical consideration and should be prepared to elect 3 Delegates for their respective Parish.
• KSAFA Affiliates who retain their status with KSAFA i.e. Police National, ISCF, UTECH, UWI and JDF, Masters League, Business House, JISA and Whole Life Ministries have retained their affiliation with KSAFA are not eligible to vote in the Parish elections.
