The Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) presidential contenders, set to square off in tomorrow's election, have also expressed like-minded commitments towards improving playing fields to a standard that will better realise Jamaica's football potential.
And both Stephenson, the former Kingston and St Andrew Football Association (KSAFA) president, and Ricketts, the Clarendon FA chief, have acknowledged that fresh approaches are needed to handle the JFF's mounting financial woes.
Where the two seem to tread separately surrounds the path to professional football in Jamaica.
It was always widely believed that the current amateurish club structure was unsustainable. The recent announcement that regional governing body CONCACAF plans to introduce a two-tiered club championship has brought the significance of becoming professional into sharper focus.
