The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Saturday presented football equipment to the Upper Demerara Football Association (UDFA) during an outreach programme.
“This outreach programme is part of our good governance strategy and is an essential part of our work to develop football for all across Guyana, while ensuring our members have the tools and resources they need to deliver on their individual, as well as our collective, goals,” said GFF President Wayne Forde, who spearheaded the initiative.
“The GFF is a united community of football – from our administration to clubs and regional associations – and it’s vital that we do everything we can to maintain excellent relationships within this community to continue building a strong foundation for the future of the game,” he added.
The UDFA version of the NAMILCO National U17 Football League also commenced during the visit while Forde also conducted a meeting with the UDFA Executive Committee and other stakeholders within the jurisdiction. Footballs were also presented to the senior men’s teams.
“There are so many unsung heroes working behind the scenes in football across Guyana,” Forde explained.
“It was, therefore, a matter of personal importance for me to thank the club executives for their service to the beautiful game, and to assure them that the GFF stands ready to support them with the equipment, technical and other support that they need.
“With that in mind. I emphasised the importance of strong club governance and structures and underlined how the GFF Club Charter Programme and GFF Members Financial Assistance Programme can help them improve standards and accelerate the development of their clubs and their on-field and off-field talent,” he ended.
