NEW YORK CITY, New York (CMC) Former Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) president Tony James is one of three officials selected for the latest inductions into CONCACAF's Hall of Fame. CONCACAF, the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football, announced Tuesday that James, Nicaraguan Football Federation President Julio Rocha, and retired CONCACAF executive, Clive Toye, are up for induction into the confederation's Hall of Fame in early June. "The three will be formally enshrined at the XXVI CONCACAF Ordinary Congress in the Bahamas on June 1, increasing membership in the honorary society to 29," CONCACAF said. The three were chosen by the CONCACAF Executive Committee from nominations, based on their considerable contributions to the game. "CONCACAF's Hall of Fame includes notables from around the region, such as Mexico's Guillermo Canedo and the USA's Werner Fricker, to former FIFA President Joao Havelange and the world body's current leader, Sepp Blatter," CONCACAF said. James was JFF president from 1985-1992, serving the second-longest term since the organisation became affiliated with CONCACAF in 1965. |
