Selection bureaucracy

`Elevation to national honours must act as a source of pride for individuals and should only be afforded to persons who are deserving and not through political or other influences’

Sporting merit or selection bureaucracy?  That is a conundrum which is often associated with national teams in Guyana especially in the beautiful game of football.

With Guyana set to tackle Martinique on Tuesday at the Mackenzie Sports Club (MSC) ground, Linden, the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) released a 30-member provisional squad, 13 of which are foreign-based players and the 17 remaining individuals split between the Stag Beer Elite League and lower divisions.
