Jorge Giménez, president of the Venezuelan Football Federation (FVF), has reaffirmed his commitment to expanding the sport across the country. He says the goal is to raise the competitive level of Venezuelan football and, ultimately, to make the nation a global force.
A Message to the Grassroots
Giménez made the remarks at the federation’s General Assembly for the 2025-2026 period, held on Thursday. The session covered the investment made over the past year and the organisation’s plans for the future.
He stressed the need to return to the grassroots and bring the game to every municipality, community and territory. Wherever a child has a ball, he said, the federation should be there to provide the tools to develop.
Optimism for the Future
Giménez expressed confidence that better times lie ahead, arguing that the hardest part is already behind them. He pledged continued work to improve conditions for players and to create more opportunities over time.
Infrastructure and High Performance
The assembly also addressed projects to upgrade football stadiums in several states. Plans for the National High Performance Centres (CNAR) in Lara and La Carlota were also on the agenda.
The gathering brought together delegates from state associations, along with representatives of women’s football, referees, coaches and athletes.
