Embattled president of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Colin Klass met and had a closed door meeting with vice-president of the Suriname Football Federation (SVB) Ronald Koorendijh over the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) order that the GFF must repay to the SVB expenses incurred during the SVB national team’s visit to Guyana in June.
Then, the Suriname national team here to engage Guyana in a return fixture of their 2010 World Cup qualifying match at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, were provided with unsatisfactory accommodation and resorted to another hotel for meals and swimming pool service.
The expenditure incurred by this move was borne by the SVB who contacted the world governing body (FIFA) on the issue.
This led to an order by FIFA that the GFF reimburse the SVB.
Koorendijh arrived in Guyana yesterday to hold discussions with Klass and according to a source, the meeting was held last evening but Stabroek Sports was unable to gather any details from the meeting as the GFF remains tight-lipped even refusing to acknowledge that there was indeed a meeting.
However, a reliable source informed Stabroek Sports that the GFF head, Klass had made an offer to the SVB vice president Koorendijh.
Koorendijh, the source said might have to relay the offer to the SVB before a decision is made.
According to information, the matter would have to be settled today as the GFF head Klass will be leaving Guyana today.
It is not clear whether Klass, an accountant by profession, is leaving on football or work related matters but information reaching this newspaper is that there might possibly be another meeting between Klass and Koorendijh today before the GFF boss wings out of Guyana.
