Stag Beer Super16 top teams still to receive prize money

Wayne Forde

Despite concluding the ‘Stag Beer Super 16 Championship’ on January 1st, the Wayne Forde led Guyana Football Federation [GFF] has failed pay the prize monies to winner Den Amstel, runner-up Buxton United and third place side Fruta Conquerors.

This was revealed by sources close to the federation. According to the sources, “The prize monies have not been paid despite the tournament being concluded nearly a month ago. The teams shouldn’t have to wait so long and they should put mechanisms in place so that the teams can get their monies immediately.”

The sources further said, “The prize monies should have been lodged at the federation which is customary and raises questions why weren’t the monies lodged before the start of the competition. Presently no one has said when the prize monies will be paid out and there has not been a timeline to say when the teams will receive their monies and the players are asking for their monies.”
