Former LFA
General Secretary George Wah Williams Aspires for the LFA Presidency!!
As the much anticipated LFA elective congress draws near, names have
started to emerge for the various posts that would be up for grasps.
What is ever intriguing about these elections will be the onslaught on
the current incumbent President Cllr. Izetta Wesley, FIFA's much
decorated first female president of football association in the world.
With so much anxiety around these elections, the President of Vantaa
Sports marketing and Management Company, Liberia's Premier sports
marketing firm has tossed his hat in the race for a place on the LFA
Executive Committee.
Speaking to an array of sports administrators, Mr. Williams, who is
former General Secretary of the Liberia Football Association,
indicated that with his experience and achievements in the game and
administration in Liberia , he could bring a lot of dividends to the
LFA Executive Committee as well as availing his programming and
marketing skills for the Liberian Football.
The young and vibrant former general secretary of the LFA who resigned
the post in March of 2009 due to what he called “the need to expand
his contributions to football beyond the confines of the office of the
General Secretary” has recorded unprecedented success especially on
the international scene. Rising without notice to become a member of
the CAF Disciplinary Committee and renewed for the period 2006-2012.
The very knowledgeable Williams made his doubters shame when without
ever Commissioning a game in Liberia became both a FIFA and CAF Match
Commissioner.
He was recently appointed by FIFA to the last round of qualifiers in
Ghana where Guinea went down to Burkina Faso 3:0. The energetic and
inspiring football consultant enjoyed appoints from the President of
CAF where he served as a part of the President Hayatou’s delegation to
the CAF U-17 Championships in Togo(2007), CAF FUTSAL Championship in
Libya(2008) and recently the CAF CHAN Championships in neighboring
Cote D’Ivoire ( 2009).
Upon resignation, Mr. Williams relying on the invaluable experiences
acquired over the years established Vantaa Sports Marketing and
Management Company ( known popularly as Vantaa Sports). Mr. Williams
called for sober decision making amongst football decision makers as
the elective congress draws near. Mr. Williams is a current member of
the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Disciplinary Board and a
Match Commissioner for both CAF and FIFA. He is an accomplished sports
administrator and consultant.
Mr. Williams candidacy announcement was met with tremendous reception
as anticipations have being heightened given the sports administration
savvy of Mr. Williams.
