"You have done very well and you have set the platform for us to take the baton and take Jamaica's football to the next level," Boxhill said of Burrell.
Boxhill, who unveiled his team's manifesto,
based his campaign on administrative reform. He
promised his administration would be transparent and inclusionary.
Burrell said he still has a life in football and
would use it as best as he could to benefit Jamaica.
"I have other football appointments," he said. "I'm a member of
the disciplinary committee of FIFA, I'm also the first vice-president
of the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) and also a member of the
disciplinary committee of the CONCACAF. So I still have a lot to do
and maybe even more."
