GFF to increase MFAP funding

Members of the GFF Congress

The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) on Saturday held its Ordinary Congress at the National Training Centre, at Providence, East Bank Demerara, where it signalled its intent to increase the funding of the Members Financial Assistance Programme (MFAP), following a 25% increase in the FIFA Forward 3.0 funding mechanism.

The rise in funding for the FIFA programme was announced at the world governing body’s 2022 Congress in March. The aforementioned was confirmed by an official release from the federation.

According to the correspondence, the two areas that are likely to attract the increased funding via the MFAP programme are competitions and infrastructure, with emphasis on the maintenance and upgrading of venues.
