Camps wants to stay as T&TFF holds elections.
By: Andre E Baptiste (Guardian).

The 2010 Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation (T&TFF) Elections will be held today at the Centre of Excellence, Macoya, from 5 pm according to the incumbent president, Oliver Camps.

Camps speaking on Isports Saturday on i95.5fm confirmed today’s elections, with the annual general meeting and the voting for posts. Camps said all positions are up for contention.

Camps also confirmed he was seeking re-election. “I love the sport and I believe that I can still contribute in many ways given my knowledge and experience...but this all is dependent if I am nominated on the day so if they nominate me, I will contest for president,” he revealed.

On the fact that he may face a challenge for the first time, Camps was cautious. “I expect to be challenged...but let us wait and see what happens on the day, because a lot can happen between now and then.”

Camps said all financial members were notified and invited to the meeting but he could not say if special advisor Jack Warner would be present.

“I am not certain if he will be there. I do not know...but he does not vote,” noted Camps. Camps was also very sceptical of the presence of the media.

“We do not normally invite the media, so I am not certain if any notice was given to the media. I do not have the agenda.”

Who qualifies as financial member? Zonal presidents required to pay a fee

[RGarcia]

I surprise he know there is an election. He not sure who will be there, the agenda, who invited etc. Lol these guys jokey yes!

[Football supporter]

Any where else in the world, this election would be a serious occasion. Anyone interested in the future of T&T football, be it at local level or world cup qualification, would be demanding answers before anyone is elected or re elected. Specifically, what will happen if, on friday, the judge supports the players claim for an interim payment of $44 million?

How will this be paid?
In the 4 years since the case began, what contingency plans have been put in place?
What will happen if TTFF become bankrupt?
Where are the audited accounts for 2005-2010?
How much money has been spent defending this case?
Why did no witnesses attend the arbitration and why was no evidence submitted?
Will FIFA suspend T&T if this case is lost and/or TTFF are bankrupt?
What are the implications for the future of T&T football if members associated with TTFF and acting on its behalf have broken the law?

You know, just simple little questions like these. New officers should not be elected until questions like these are answered. How can you elect people to be the guardians and rule makers of national football if they are imcompetent?

This is not an election, its the usual shoe-in of old mates in an exclusive club.

An election should not be held until the above issues are addressed!
Why is the TTFF having this now for now elections, with the media not being invited & man wants to be re-elected and he has not dealt with those vital issues outlined above for the past four years while he has been in charge? And what contribution has Camps made to T&T football outside of helping to keep JW's pocket fat? But therein lies the important factor that ensures that JW does his best to keep Camps in charge!

Bro,
          off course this is a chat forum. We can't effect change as we would like if we living in foreign. The people home have to do the hard work and we, hopefully, should support them in making the change for the betterment of football. Look at Gally situation. Gally and the 60s men is reall ball jumbies. They have have tried everything to move jack out. They have failed. As long as Jack has FIFA to back him him, we stuck with that vampire. Plain and simple.

Oliver Camps returns as TTFF President.
By: Hema Ramkisson (TTFF Media).

Oliver Camps was returned unopposed to the position of President of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation at the Federation’s Annual General Meeting at the Centre of Excellence yesterday afternoon.

Camps, who has served in the position since 1992, said he was humbled by the Executive’s decision to return him to the helm.

"I'm honoured and extremely humbled to be given yet another term to serve in the position as President of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation.

I will continue to serve the sport and its stakeholders to the best of my ability. It has been a long and exciting journey and together I am confident we can overcome any obstacle to ensure that football is elevated to the next level.”

The veteran football administrator revealed that he will be taking on a number of new projects during his term including working with the various stakeholders to improve the framework governing club football.
 
"One of my objectives will be to have a proper restructuring of club football in the country with specific emphasis for the lower league clubs in the various regional associations.

I will be seeking the assistance of the Sports Ministry to ensure there is a proper modern day structure for League football in our country.” Camps stated.

"While many will agree that the 2006 qualification of our men's team for the World Cup would be a major highlight, I think our country's staging of two youth World Cups in 2001 and 2010 has to be among the highlights of my tenure as President of the TTFF." The President added.

At the opening of a CONCACAF Media Relations Workshop today, the President of the Caribbean Football Union Jack Warner, congratulated Camps on his return to Office.

“Oliver Camps has been a long-serving member of the football family. He continues to work tirelessly with all stakeholders to ensure that the sport advances to the next level. I wish him all the best and I am confident we will continue to see positive developments.”
 
The Minister of Sport, the Hon. Anil Roberts, who was also at the opening, congratulated Mr. Camps saying he expected another “exceptional four years in football.”
 
Also offering congratulations was President of the TT Pro League Mr. Dexter Skeene. “On behalf of the TT Pro League I would like to congratulate Mr. Camps on his re-election. We will continue to work with the Football Federation to improve the sport. The relationship between the Pro League and Federation has improved greatly under the leadership of Mr. Camps.
 
Oliver Camps, a past president of the Harvard Sports Club, is also a past manager of the T&T Men's Senior team, holding that position in 1973 when T&T narrowly missed out on qualifying for the 1974 World Cup and again in 1989 when the National Team missed out on qualifying for Italy 1990 by a single point.
 
Also elected at the AGM were Rudolph Thomas, Lennox Watson and Krishendath Kuarsingh as the Federation’s three Vice Presidents.

I see he chose his words wisely and say it was among the highlights whilst he was at the head...but we all know he had nothing to do with those events happening in our country!
 

Big Up!

[Football supporter]

The relationship between the Pro League and Federation has improved greatly under the leadership of Mr. Camps.

Can someone explain to me the significance of this statement? Since the Pro League was formed, no one else has been leader! It leads you to believe that there were problems before Camps came into office, but really, the only problems between ProLeague and TTFF could only have occured while Camps was in charge!

Also, I notice big talk about stakeholders in football. I guess that players and supporters don't count as stakeholders?

wham? tim kee went against and ent vp no more awa?
