Gordon Derrick is an Antiguan football executive and the owner of Antigua Barracuda FC. He is currently the President of the Caribbean Football Union. He was appointed to the position in May 2012 replacing the Trinidadian Jack Warner.
It has been questioned whether Derrick owning Antigua Barracuda FC and overseeing the CFU Club Championship in which the team annually competes in his CFU Presidential role is a conflict of interest. Barracuda are automatic entrants into the competition as they are Antigua's only professional team and do not need to qualify for the competition through the domestic Antigua and Barbuda Premier Division competition.[1]
Derrick is also a director of the Antigua Commercial Bank.[2] Derrick holds a Bachelors of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Florida Institute of Technology and a Masters of Science Degree in Business Administration from the University of the West Indies (UWI).
In October 2011, FIFA questioned Derrick for his part in the Caribbean Football Union corruption scandal.[3] He was reprimanded and fined 300 CHF.[4]
