This year’s Inter-Guiana Games (IGG) involving Guyana, French Guiana and host country Suriname is in jeopardy after Suriname’s  Director of Sport, Gordon Tjouw Ngie Touw, indicated that the games have been postponed for a couple of weeks.

The IGG, traditionally staged on an annual basis was first held way back in 1967. However, after a five-year hiatus, a period that encompassed the COVID-19 pandemic, the games were rekindled last year by the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) government.

Last year’s games held on local soil featured over 400 athletes and coaches and saw participation in nine disciplines.
