CIFA calls for volunteers

(CIFA): Having confirmed its hosting of the CONCACAF Under 15 Boys’ Development Tournament in Grand Cayman from August 13 – 25, in association with the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF), the Cayman Islands Football Association (CIFA) has issued a call for members of the Cayman community to join its team of CIFA Ambassadors to provide tournament competitors and officials a taste of Cayman’s hospitality. “We are very excited to show members of some 24 teams, CONCACAF officials and football fans around the world the first class hospitality the people of Cayman can offer to them … but we can’t do this alone.” said Bruce Blake, Chairman of the Local Organizing Committee.

“One of the ways in whichwe hope to build our pool of Ambassadors is to invite employers within our business community, heads of government departments and agencies to encourage their staff to volunteer their time and services to make this a successful event. Support is needed as liaison officers, sales clerks, administrative assistants, hosts and hostesses, translators, medical personnel … the list is almost endless.” continued Blake who sees the long-term benefit to the entire Cayman community of hosting such events.

From a sports tourism standpoint, the benefits of having some 600 people come to our Island for such a tournament are significant.

Persons interested in and /or requiring more information on becoming a CIFA Ambassador should email the LOC at volunteers.cifa@gmail.com
