FIFA Appoints Sri Lankan Football Chief Jaswar Umar to Grassroots and Amateur Football Committee 🇱🇰

World governing body FIFA has appointed Football Federation of Sri Lanka (FFSL) President Jaswar Umar to its Committee for Grassroots and Amateur Football.

This prestigious appointment comes at a time when Sri Lankan Football is experiencing rapid growth under the visionary leadership of President Jaswar Umar over the past 18 months. His strategic and bold approach has transformed the landscape of Sri Lankan football, setting new benchmarks in professionalism, governance, and performance.

President Umar’s relentless focus on professionalizing the national team and elite football structure has positioned Sri Lanka as a rising force in the South Asian region. His modern management style and forward-thinking policies have brought renewed energy and credibility to the game, earning international recognition.

Sri Lanka’s national team has shown significant improvement and remains the only South Asian nation still in contention for Asian Cup qualification, a testament to the progress achieved through structured reforms and professional planning.

With his new role in FIFA, Jaswar Umar will now contribute his experience and expertise to uplift grassroots and amateur football on a global scale. His appointment reflects both his growing influence in world football and FIFA’s confidence in his ability to inspire meaningful development within the sport worldwide.

“Football must be built from its roots. Empowering grassroots and amateur levels ensures sustainable success for future generations,” Jaswar Umar stated following his appointment.

This milestone marks another proud moment for Sri Lanka, as its football leadership continues to gain recognition and respect on the international stage.
