NEW YORK CITY, New York, (CMC) – Former Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) president Tony James is one of three officials selected for the latest inductions into CONCACAF’s Hall of Fame.

CONCACAF, the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football, announced Tuesday that James, Nicaraguan Football Federation President Julio Rocha and retired CONCACAF executive Clive Toye are up for induction into the confederation’s Hall of Fame in early June.

“The three will be formally enshrined at the XXVI CONCACAF Ordinary Congress in the Bahamas on June 1, increasing membership in the honorary society to 29,” CONCACAF said.

The three were chosen by the CONCACAF Executive Committee from nominations based on their “considerable contributions to the game”, CONCACAF said.

“CONCACAF’s Hall of Fame includes notables from around the region such as Mexico’s Guillermo Canedo and the USA’s Werner Fricker, to former FIFA President Joao Havelange and the word body’s current leader Sepp Blatter,” CONCACAF said.

James was JFF president from 1985-1992, serving the second-longest term since the organisation became affiliated with CONCACAF in 1965.

He has been a member of the Executive Committees for CONCACAF and the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) and currently serves on the Organising Committee for the FIFA Under-17 World Cup.

James, a standout schoolboy player for Jamaica College during the 1960s, is also an active match commissioner for FIFA and CONCACAF.

Rocha and Toye also boast a rich history in the sport.

A former head of Central American football, Rocha has been associated with the sport for nearly 40 years, beginning with a playing career with Diriangen FC that also led to the Nicaraguan national team in late 1960s.

Rocha received the FIFA Centennial Order of Merit in 2004 and was inducted into Nicaragua’s Sports Hall of Fame in 2007.

Toye is a former sports writer for the Express and Echo Newspapers in Exeter and later chief sports writer for the Daily Express in his native England.

He arrived in the United States in 1967 to be part of the North American Soccer League and spent more than 30 years as an administrator in the American game.

Toye joined CONCACAF as a senior consultant in 1998 and was instrumental in the growth of the confederation’s communications and media department. He was also inducted into the U.S. National Soccer Hall of Fame in 2003.
