We need to change the Seychelles Football Federation committee… they are ruining the game for us

Seychelles football is in a terrible state and it is time for a change.

The election for a new committee of the Seychelles Football Federation is on the 7th December and I urge the representatives of our football clubs to be sure they make the right decision when they cast their vote. 

They should not support the existing committee when it stands for election to serve for the next four years. 

Those committee members have failed us.

I think the time has come to change the way the Federation is run and that change has to happen now.

We have got to understand that if we want football to improve in Seychelles we need new committee members with fresh ideas.

As a former Captain of the Seychelles national team, I played in many international matches, and built up a wealth of experience in football.

I know what makes the system work and I feel I did Seychelles proud then and I want to help the game today by recreating those same high standards.

The present committee has failed to develop a great Federation. They have let down today’s footballers. These committee members must be gone so we can give the game a much-needed vital burst of energy.

I am calling on all chairmen of the football clubs to act now and throw out the current Executive Committee for the sake of Seychelles Football.

It is time for new people to be elected so they can change the Federation for the better and make the sport great again. It will make us proud again.
