The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) and Racing Club de Madrid (RMFC) of Spain inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Wednesday at the latter’s Georgetown headquarters, which will formalize a partnership to elevate youth football locally.
This was disclosed in an official release from the federation. According to the correspondence, the partnership was inked between GFF President Wayne Forde and RMFC co-owner and President Steve Nijjar and creates a framework that focuses on youth, grassroots, and elite player development, as well as coaching education and women’s football.
Originally named Racing de Madrid, the club, which was formed in 1914 following a merger between two Madrid-based entities, Instituto Cardenal Cisneros and Region FC, has been defunct since 1932. Its successor, AR Chamberi, which played one season in Spain’s third division, also folded in 1977.
