Gues that for them, Portuguese could also mean born in pre-1961 Goa?

His father and grandfather are clearly Goans, born in Saligao. No question of 
being Portuguese.

These Diaspora Indian local newspapers even of the standard of India Abroad are 
mainly unreliable, cut-and-paste periodicals. Their reason for existence is not 
real news, just to fill up pages with ads targeting local Indians and make 
profits for their owners.

Read Goan Voice UK which provides links to reputable sources.

A report in India Abroad in March of this year says his father was a
Portuguese and mother a Columbian, and that he came to US from India when
he was 15. He is now 61.

[Goanet] The Carlos Cordeiro Story

[Roland Francis]

Here he is some time ago, making a pitch for President of the US Soccer 
Association, a governing body with a $110 million budget and a $150 million 
reserve.

Harvard educated, he regretfully makes no reference to his Goan origin from 
where his love for soccer must have originated. Instead he just mentions he was 
an Indian immigrant for whom the American Dream worked out.

As an immigrant who came to this great country with my widowed mother and three 
siblings when I was 15—and then worked night jobs during high school and 
work-study in college—I know that when Americans set our sights high, we can 
accomplish anything.  I’ve been blessed to live the American Dream, and I want 
to help our athletes achieve theirs.

This election is not about who can kick the ball, coach a team or serve as CEO. 
 This election is about who has the vision, strategy and skills to serve as 
President of the Board of an organization with a 170-person staff, a $110 
million budget, a $150 million surplus that needs to be invested wisely, more 
than four million youth, adults, coaches and referees, and growing sponsorships 
and global partnerships. 

With more than 30 years of international business expertise, I know how to 
recruit talent and build teams, establish trust, forge consensus and 
coalitions, manage multi-billion-dollar projects and grow businesses in new and 
competitive markets.  

I’ve dedicated the past 10 years of my life to USSF as an unpaid volunteer 
because I’m a passionate life-long fan of the game and believe we can take the 
sport to new heights in America.  I was an impartial voice as the Federation’s 
first Independent Director and have taken on additional roles and 
responsibilities to help address the structural and governance challenges we 
face.  After all, governance and growth go hand in hand—we won’t achieve more 
growth until we have great governance that works with and for all our members.

Specifically, I’ve helped to significantly increase our finances as Treasurer.  
I’ve been humbled by the opportunity you’ve given me to serve as Vice President 
for nearly two years.  During this time, I’ve worked hard to reform governance 
and create new committees so that the Board is engaged in more decisions and is 
more transparent and accountable—and I know that even more progress is needed.  
In addition, I am proud to represent U.S. Soccer at the global level where I 
work closely with our international partners as a member of the CONCACAF 
Council and FIFA’s Stakeholders Committee.  

I will always be guided by the only question that matters—what’s best for our 
sport?

My Plan for Change

Over the past several weeks since announcing my candidacy—and throughout my 
time as your Vice President—I’ve met with and listened to many of you.  I’ve 
heard your concerns and know how strongly many of you feel about the need for 
systemic and transformational change.  I agree.  Together, we’ve brainstormed 
ideas and collaborated to identify solutions.  My plan for change reflects our 
shared goals, and, working together, my plan can become our plan.  

If elected, I’ll work tirelessly—in a spirit of respect and inclusion for all 
our members—to preserve what’s right and fix what’s wrong.  To put us on par 
with the best soccer programs in the world—many of which already have much 
larger budgets than we do—I believe we should develop a plan to significantly 
grow our budget over the coming decade and use those funds to increase 
investments in all our players at all levels.

I’ll lead a comprehensive and fearless review of all major issues, with a focus 
on three priority areas:

Grow the Game at All Levels—To continue growing soccer in America at all levels 
and increasing U.S. Soccer membership, we must not only Serve the Athlete and 
Serve the Fans, we must Serve all our Members with a new Membership Department 
at Soccer House.  We should invest new resources to make soccer more accessible 
and affordable for youth, especially in our cities and underserved communities; 
treat referees with greater respect; help grow membership in adult programs; 
further develop our professional leagues; and advance our goal of significantly 
increasing our budget by building even stronger corporate partnerships, 
including sponsorships.

Develop World-Class National Teams—To make sure that our women defend their 
World Cup championship in 2019, ensure that our men return to the World Cup in 
2022 and that both our men’s and women’s teams excel in 2026 and 2027—what I 
call Mission 26/27—we must: invest more in world-class coaches and training 
facilities; create a new Technical Department to recruit, select and manage all 
National Team coaches; work for equal pay and equal resources for our women 
athletes; and increase support for all national t
