Cayman Islands football leaders tapped for FIFA committees

The Cayman Islands Football Association has strengthened its presence within international football governance following the appointment of CIFA President Alfredo Whittaker and CIFA Women’s Technical Director Martha Godet to FIFA committees for the 2026 cycle.

Whittaker has been appointed to FIFA’s Stadium and Security Committee, while Godet has been named to the Women’s Football Development Committee, placing two Cayman Islands representatives within key global decision-making bodies.

The appointments position the Cayman Islands within discussions that shape international football policy, infrastructure standards and development strategies and signal growing confidence in both CIFA and the Cayman Islands within the global football community.

“This speaks to the trust and confidence FIFA has in CIFA and in the work being done in the Cayman Islands,” Whittaker said. “It’s an opportunity to contribute, to learn and to ensure that the perspectives of smaller member associations are part of the global conversation.”

The FIFA Stadium and Security Committee plays a central role in advising on stadium standards, safety, security and operational requirements for FIFA competitions, while the Women’s Football Development Committee focuses on advancing women’s and girls’ football globally through policy, programmes and strategic initiatives.

Godet’s appointment aligns with CIFA’s continued emphasis on the growth of women’s football at all levels, including grassroots participation, youth development and national team pathways.

“These appointments recognize the experience and expertise within our association,” Godet said. “They also reinforce CIFA’s commitment to contributing meaningfully to FIFA’s objectives, both on and off the field.”
