The system will help upgrade football management and improve the capacity and quality of the VFF operation.
The first phase of the project began in May 2010, after FIFA had held training courses for the project’s IT staff.
It will take almost three years to complete the system, which will become operational by 2014, said Christian Michels, a FIFA IT specialist, who added that the organization will create software to register players, coaches and referees, and manage national tournaments.
