Mussenden named chairman of CFU committee

Bermuda Football Association president Larry Mussenden will chair a legal task force aimed at repairing the tarnished reputation of the scandal-plagued Caribbean Football Union.Mussenden’s legal committee will conduct a review of the CFU’s legislation to ensure it can suitably operate within the region.The task force is one of three new panels set up by the CFU normalisation committee which was formed last month in Zurich, Switzerland, by the CFU’s 30-member nations.Mussenden also sits on that committee which is temporarily executing various tasks on behalf of the CFU.The other members of the legal task force are Hally Haynes (Barbados), Bruce Blake (Cayman Islands), Osiris Guzman (Dominican Republic), Emmanuel Cantave (Haiti), Horace Reid (Jamaica) and Anthony Johnson (St Kitts-Nevis).A finance committee, chaired by Grenada Football Association president Cheney Josepy, and a football committee, led by Luis Hernandez, president of Cuba Football Association, have also been established by the CFU.BFA’s general secretary David Sabir will serve on the football commitee, which will focus on improving the format of CFU tournaments such as the CONCACAF Champions League and the Digicel Cup.The CFU has been without a president since Jack Warner resigned last June after becoming embroiled in the cash-for-votes scandal surrounding the FIFA presidential candidacy of Mohamed Bin Hammam.Warner has since resigned from all football related activities, while Hammam was banned for life after being found guilty of attempting to buy votes in FIFA’s presidential election.A total of 16 CFU officials received sanctions for their roles in the infamous Trinidad and Tobago meeting last May, which was attended BFA officials Gregory Grimes and David Sabir.The BFA were one of the whistle-blowers that helped lift the lid on the worst corruption scandal to blight the sport’s world governing body.
