PRESS RELEASE – Guam Football Association President Valentino San Gil was elected as East Asian Football Federation’s representative in the AFC Executive Committee during an election held at the EAFF 5th Extraordinary Congress Oct. 31 in Doha, Qatar.

“I am very honored to be selected again by EAFF to represent the region in the AFC Executive Committee,” said San Gil. “It is an important role in terms of helping shape the overall football landscape in Asia, as well as the aspirations of the continent in international football. I look forward to once again be working with the top leaders in Asian football with initiatives to essentially raise the level of the sport in Asia and all of the continent’s Member Associations.”
