The first phase of the proposed Guyana Football Federation (GFF) National Technical Centre which is under construction at D’Urban Park, Georgetown is almost completed.

This was disclosed by (GFF) President Wayne Forde during a site visit yesterday to inspect the first phase which encompasses the clearing of half the land, sand-filling and levelling of surface.

President Forde said, “The land was low, there was a lot of flooding taking place and we saw the need to do this phase of the work. The other reason why we’re doing this, is because we know many of the kids, boys and girls from the adjoining communities – Hadfield, D’Urban Street (and) the entire Wortmanville Community – don’t have access to good safe spaces for playing football. We will be granting the entire community access to this sand filled space so they can actually come out here and have recreational games,”
