CMOFA congress on Nov. 30

- By Jack Biantan

CAGAYAN Misamis Oriental Football Associatio­n (CMOFA), the ruling body of football in this part of the country, is set to hold its first ordinary congress for all clubs and stakeholde­rs on Nov. 30.

CMOFA president Percy Guarin yesterday announced that the congress will start at 1 p.m. The venue will be announced later.

Only active CMOFA member clubs are invited to the congress. Each clubs or any stakeholde­rs are allowed to send in only one representa­tive.

The main agenda of the forum is to finalize the CMOFA constituti­on by laws which has been required by the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) to be completed as early as last year.

Included in the agenda will be the identifica­tion of the members of the associatio­n. “This is very important as the CMOFA has been in existence for a long time now but the membership is still vague,’’ Guarin said.

Also to be finalized during the congress is what exactly is the name of the associatio­n as the original name MOCAGESCO Regional Football Associatio­n stated in the new constituti­on and by laws has been heavily criticized.

MOCAGESCO is an acronym for Misamis Oriental Cagayan Ginggoog El Salvador Camiguin and Opol. They are the big cities and municipali­ties that comprise the associatio­n.

There are suggestion­s that the associatio­n retains the CMOFA and replace
