Beach football gets $1m grant for development programme

Beach Football in Guyana has received a major boost with the Bayroc Cool Runnings Beach Football Club being awarded a community grounds development programme grant of approximately one million dollars from the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport.

The facility, which is being constructed at the Bayroc Sports Club and Fitness Centre sand reserve ground, will feature a 50-foot concrete and lumber bleacher and a 30-foot concrete wall for advertising.

The project, which has already commenced, and is expected to be completed by the middle of November, will help in promoting the growth and development of this version of the sport locally.
