Sana'a - Saba:
A consultative meeting involving clubs and branches of the General Yemeni Football Association concluded on Wednesday approving a national list to run in the upcoming elections for the Association's Board of Directors for the 2024-2028 term. The meeting took place over two days at al-Orouba Club in Sana'a.
Participants expressed their support for Ibrahim al-Suwaidi, vice Chairman of al-Orouba Club, who has been nominated for the presidency of the Yemeni Football Association. The elections are scheduled for November 30, and Al-Suwaidi's comprehensive program aims to reform Yemeni football.
The meeting also addressed ongoing preparations for the elections and emphasized the need for a unified national vision to develop the sport. In protest against procedural violations, the participants decided to boycott a General Assembly meeting called by the expired Board of Directors, which was set to occur electronically.
Clubs reiterated their right to choose delegates for the elections and called for the reconstitution of the Elections Committee with neutral members approved by the General Assembly.
They stressed the importance of conducting fair and transparent elections, warning that any further violations could lead them to escalate the matter to international football authorities.
