Sports Ambassador SVG: Oalex Anderson
Vincentian footballer Oalex Anderson of Barrouallie was named a Sporting Ambassador of St. Vincent and the Grenadines in October 2024.
Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves announced the honor during the country’s 45th Independence celebrations. Anderson, a forward for the SVG national team, is known as “Bounty” for his scoring. That same weekend he broke the North Carolina FC career scoring record.
The appointment is a government sporting honor, not a COSAGO award. The council’s own athlete work is the Penn Relays effort with Club St. Vincent and Friends of COSAGO.
Anderson has played for System 3 in SVG, Seattle Sounders (MLS Cup 2016), Richmond Kickers, North Carolina FC, and, as of 2026, Las Vegas Lights FC in the USL Championship.
