The Football Federation's 10th. Congress is scheduled for tomorrow morning but, tonight, no one's quite sure if the meeting will even go ahead. That's because four of the District Associations and the Premier League have written to the FFB saying they will not participate. Without those five bodies - the Congress will not have the required quorum. The associations are objecting to the FFB decision barring Sergio Chuc and others from offering themselves as President.
But, the FFB is doing its best to force these associations back into the fold. The secretariat sent out a letter yesterday telling those associations which have gone rogue that they want to see the minutes of the meetings where the decision was approved to boycott tomorrow's congress. That has been provided, we are told.
Chuc has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sports and urged the associations not to participate in what he believes is an illegitimate process.
The FFB also says it will answers concerns about Chuc's candidacy with a letter from the FIFA ethics Committee.
Will that be enough to bring those associations to the Congress tomorrow? Inside information says it's unlikely, but we'll have to wait and see.
The candidates are Senior Vice President Marlon Kuylen and Past President Rupert Vicente. The Toledo, Stand Creek and Belize District associations are expected to be there to show support for them - three associations when the minimum for a quorum is 5.
