The St. Kitts-Nevis Football Association (SKNFA) welcomes the decision by FIFA President Gianni Infantino to withdraw the proposed FIFA Football Fund Enterprise (FFE) initiative.
The SKNFA appreciates President Infantino’s commitment to fostering unity and maintaining cohesion among all 211 FIFA Member Associations. We firmly believe that unity, dialogue, consultation, and respect for established institutional processes are essential to the continued development of football globally.
The SKNFA remains grateful for the financial and technical support provided by FIFA over the past decade under President Infantino’s leadership. This support has made a transformative impact on football development across St. Kitts and Nevis.
Through FIFA’s backing, the SKNFA qualified for its first major international tournament in 2023 and has actively participated in numerous youth and women’s competitions. Furthermore, this support has enabled the Association to assist its member clubs through the Member Association Assistance Programme (MAP), while advancing infrastructure, technical development, and capacity-building initiatives.
The SKNFA firmly believes that FIFA’s established institutional processes must be respected. We will not support any Member Association or Confederation that seeks to undermine these processes or weaken the unity and governance structures of the global football family.
The SKNFA therefore reaffirms its full support for President Gianni Infantino’s leadership and vision. We look forward to supporting him as he completes his current constitutional mandate and continues to advance the development of football for all 211 Member Associations.
