In a stirring address to participants at the opening of the FIFA/CONCACAF Women?s Football Workshop at the Dr. João Havelange Centre of Excellence in Trinidad & Tobago, CONCACAF President, Jack A. Warner, urged the audience to commit themselves to the development of women?s football and to reject mediocrity in all its forms.
He stated that to do otherwise would be to confine women?s football to second-class status. ?You must fight against any suggestion that women must play a different kind of football with different rules and regulations?, he said ?sometimes there is too much lip service paid to women?s football and we do not give the game enough respect. A more serious effort must be made to promote women?s football and I charge all of you here today with the responsibility to do so when you return to your countries and Associations.?
The Workshop began with a lecture on the History of Women?s Football by Tatjana Haenni of FIFA? s Women?s Football Division. FIFA Instructor, Hope Powell who is also technical director of England?s Women?s Team is scheduled to conduct several practical field sessions on Tactical Systems of Play, Attacking Principles and Defensive Tactics this week.
On the final day (22 November) there will be a group discussion on the Challenges Ahead for Women?s Football.
Warner concluded by expressing his gratitude to FIFA for its continued support of the CONCACAF Development Program.
Thirty-four coaches are attending the Workshop.
