'I am very happy that the FIFA has approved this project and we hope to move swiftly in getting the centre constructed,' Captain Burrell said.
'It has always been a part of our vision to establish a proper training centre and academy for our footballers. Many of our players develop some very poor techniques and if we are able to select the best across Jamaica and periodically take them into the academy it would further serve to enhance our development at this critical stage,' continued Burrell.
'We have applied for it (FIFA aid) for about a year and a half now.
'A training centre would also provide an excellent environment for preparing teams prior to entering international tournaments, which is the norm in developed football countries.'
the FIFA grant is approximately US$400,000.
