(CNS): Jeffrey Webb, the FIFA Vice President and President of the Confederation of North Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF), will be hosting his first CONCACAF executive committee meeting and strategic retreat this week on Grand Cayman. Officials from the football organisation said the meeting was about the objectives, vision, structure, and governance of CONCACAF, with emphasis on financial planning,competitions, development and branding. "This occasion is not only important in the history of football in the Cayman Islands, but it is also important in the history of CONCACAF," Webb said Tuesday.

"This will mark a turning point for CONCACAF, as we will, over the next few days, analyse every aspect of the confederation with the aim of creating a business plan. We will be reviewing everything from the structure to the finances of CONCACAF. Our aim is to ensure that CONCACAF is properly positioned as a major sporting organization to serve and complement its member associations and to develop football throughout the region," the president who was elected in May added.

The Cayman governor will also host a reception at the Governor's House on July 12 for the visiting dignitaries and the Cayman Islands Football Association will host a gala dinner the following day at the Ritz-Carlton in honour of Webb's election to the Vice Presidency of FIFA and the Presidency of CONCACAF.
