CARIFTA Games cancelled

Guyana’s athletes will not have the opportunity to participate at this year’s 49th CARIFTA Games in Bermuda after it was cancelled yesterday.

The CARIFTA Games for 2021 in Bermuda has been cancelled due to the pandemic.

The cancellation of the 49th edition of the Games which was postponed last year and rescheduled on multiple occasions this year, was confirmed via circular by General Secretary of the North American and Central American and Caribbean Athletics Association (NACAC), Keith Joseph last evening.

This year’s Games originally set for Easter weekend, was postponed to July 2 to 4 after a surge of COVID-19 cases during the early months of the year.
