Guyana Football Federation (GFF) President Wayne Forde said, the CONCACAF Girls U17 Championship provided the ideal stage for the country to build its brand on the international circuit, and lay the foundation for hosting future tournaments.
Speaking at a press conference held at the Princess Ramada Hotel, Providence, last weekend, Forde said, “The hosting of the group-D of the CONCACAF Girls U17 Championship is a launching pad, it is a platform for Guyana to build its international brand, its international image within the CFU region and the wider CONCACAF family.”
According to Forde, “Coordinating these three games have been quite a challenge for us, there is a lot more going on in the backroom and I am glad that when the fans enter the venue, what they saw… is a well-executed tournament. Nonetheless there is much to learn, we are growing, we took this decision just before our senior men played the Jamaican team in the CFU Championship and we are gradually getting to the point where, the GFF with our stakeholders, of course, will be able to execute and coordinate and organize major tournaments.”
