Former Guyana Football Federation [GFF] President Christopher Matthias has questioned the capacity and overall decision of the federation to allow the Kashif and Shanghai Organization to coordinate the inaugural ExxonMobil Futsal Festival.
In an exclusive interview with Stabroek Sport, Matthias said, “It brings into question the capacity of the GFF to fulfill their constitutional mandate as regard to developing football. The GFF structure has an office of that of the organizing secretary and the GFF has a part of the same structure in the associations with qualified people. If the GFF with such administrative ability and technical character has to contract out the hosting of any tournament, then it brings into question the GFF’s constitutional mandate to develop Guyanese football.”
He further said that the decision to utilize a coordinating team will be a costly exercise and this is even more concerning, given the GFF’s current financial situation, as they are indebted to several entities and clubs to the tune of millions of dollars.
