Hanoi: The Expert Pool activity under the AFC President’s Initiative programme has started in Vietnam with Dr. Michele Cox, a UEFA consultant provided to the AFC as part of the AFC-UEFA Memorandum of Understanding, joining the Vietnam Football Federation’s grassroots development drive.
A highly experienced administrator and ex-international footballer, Dr. Cox will be part of the tailor-made programme until September 17, 2015.
During this period, Dr. Cox will work with Football for All in Vietnam, an organisation working, in close co-operation with the Vietnam Football Federation, on the development of grassroots football throughout the country.
The project will concentrate on grassroots football and will cater to an even split of both girls and boys.
The AFC Expert Pool programme is one of the three projects under the AFC President’s Initiatives, and has the objective of overcoming the challenges being faced by AFC Member Associations in the key areas of infrastructure, financial assistance and specific areas of football administration or football development.
Under the programme, Member Associations can request a consultant for activities that are central to their strategic goals.
