participate in the INAUGURAL ACADEMIC CONFERENCE ON INTERNATIONAL
FOOTBALL to be held at the University of the West Indies, Mona, St.
Andrew, JAMAICA from November 23rd to 26th, 2011.
Introduction
Football was introduced in the Caribbean towards the end of the 19th
century by the British colonial settlers and soldiers who used games
and sport as a 'tool' for recreation, relaxation and control. Jamaica
played its first international match in 1925 against Haiti. In 1965
under the leadership of Brazilian coach Jorge Penna, Jamaica made its
first attempt at World Cup qualification, in its bid to be a part of
the 1966 World Cup Finals in England. The Captain Horace Burrell-led
Jamaica Football Federation, Brazilian technical director Rene Simoes
and National coach Carl Brown steered the Jamaican team to success in
qualifying for the FIFA World Cup in 1998. In so doing Jamaica became
the first English- speaking Caribbean country to qualify for the World
Cup finals. The experience of attempting to qualify national teams for
the quadrennial FIFA World Cup competitions has exposed Jamaia to many
of the international issues concerning the role of football in the
shaping of societies globally.
Objectives
Primarily, the conference has been conceptualized to assist with the
revolutionizing of football locally and regionally. The daily sessions
and activities will facilitate this through focus on the ideological,
cultural, economic, political and the social encounters of the game in
the various spaces within which it is played. Therefore, administrators
and practitioners will not only garner perspectives previously unknown,
but the conference will also explore new ways of improving the game.
In addition, the conference will be used as the opportunity to
celebrate the achievements and contributions of 5 local football
PIONEERS: Lindy Delapenha, George Thompson, Keith Noad, Allan Cole and
Ricardo Gardner
The conference will welcome papers on themes such as:
The role of football in social history, culture, psycho-emotional
philosophical, economic and political aspects of human development.
Football at the intersections of power, race, color, class, gender,
religion and the media.
International Football (in Africa, Asia, Europe, South America, Central
and North America, Oceania, the Caribbean)
Elements that determine the ethos of amateur, semi-professional,
professional and international play, games and sport
Methodologies for football development at the individual, family,
community, school, club, business, government, national and regional
levels.
Strategizing Jamaica World Cup 2022 and beyond.

PERPETUAL RENEWAL
It would be well to keep in mind that PERPETUAL RENEWAL is an end point. The journey towards that ‘end point’ was started immediately, either knowingly or as a natural progression, from the very first day the game was introduced in our island. We are mere participants "moving along".
As far as I am concerned the recent start of dialogue between the JFF's hierarchy and the Secondary Schools...-

by KarlIt was most interesting listening to The JFF's new general secretary, Mr. Dennis Chung on various media outlets. Mr. Chung kept promising change. We assume that the change he has promised will be for improved JFF stewardship.
The Reggae Boyz Supporterz have been crying out for improved and increased transparency on matters financial, organization of "the football" across the island, and the on the field products, that is, increasingly higher quality, more efficient footballers...-
