Dearth of GFF financial support for league tournaments – GFA exec

Lomell Johnson, GFA Secretary 

Georgetown Football Association (GFA) executive committee member Lomell Johnson has lambasted the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) for their lack of financial support towards conducting the ongoing Senior Men’s League and National Milling Company (NAMILCO) U-17 League.

This was disclosed during an exclusive interview with Stabroek Sport. Lomell declared, “First of all let me make one thing clear. I have no friends when it comes to football. So when I make these comments it is with all honesty and no fear of losing a friend. I am totally dissatisfied with the financial support the two leagues have gotten thus far. The GFF has given us a meagre $480,000 to start the senior league, which they said is “start-up money.” We have since exhausted this money along with the little gate receipts that we’ve earned and to date we can’t get another amount from the federation even though we’ve provided evidence of the expenditures.”
