A major blow has been dealt to the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Elite League as six clubs have signaled their intention not to commence the second season of the event due to several pertinent issues. According to information emanating from a letter sent to the GFF by the clubs, the teams following an emergency group meeting on Wednesday have opted not to start the second season, which was slated to commence on September 18th.
The meeting featured seven of the eight Elite League clubs, with the only absentee being the Tucville-based Fruta Conquerors. The clubs that signed the manuscript were Alpha United, Georgetown Football Club (GFC), Guyana Defence Force (GDF), Monedderlust FC, Pele FC and Slingerz FC. Buxton United abstained from signing. Excerpts from the communication said “We the undersigned clubs are strongly objecting to the manner in which the newly elected GFF has arrived at the decision to make changes to the Elite League. As a consequence of your high-handed approached against the Elite Clubs, please be advised that we the undersign clubs are not prepared to play or participate in the Elite League under new and illegal playing rules set unilaterally by the GFF Exec, showing a total disregard and lack of respect for the eight Elite Clubs”.
