Mussenden, Griffith and Sabir off to Conference

IslandStats.com
On May 23rd and 24th, the Hungarian capital of Budapest will play host to the second FIFA Medical Conference and will be attended by Bermuda Football Association President Larry Mussenden, Treasure Andrew Griffith and General Secretary David Sabir.

Headed by the Chairman of the FIFA Medical Committee, Michel D’Hooghe, and FIFA’s Chief Medical Officer, Professor Jiri Dvorak, the two-day conference will discuss a number of issues with the aim of developing medical practices associated with the beautiful game. It is taking place three years on from the first Medical Conference in Zurich, and one doctor per Member Association has been invited to participate.

The first day of proceedings will be set aside for medical specialists and will not be open to the media. Day two will be reserved for discussion of major issues including sudden heart attacks, training accidents, FIFA’s 11+ warm-up programme and pre-match medicals, in addition to any other football-related issues raised by participants.

In total, four workshops will be held during the conference.

The FIFA Congress, the most-critical gathering of international football's governing body, used to assemble every two years. But since 1998, this gathering of the global football family has taken place annually in an extraordinary meeting. The introduction of annual meetings allows ‘football’s parliament’ to influence decisions concerning an ever-growing number of issues.

The Congress makes decisions relating to FIFA's governing statutes and the method by which they are implemented and applied. It also approves the annual report, decides on the acceptance of new national associations and holds elections, most notably for the FIFA presidency. In the spirit of true democracy, each national association has one vote, regardless of its size or footballing strength.
