With the Guyana Football Federation’s (GFF) January transfer window now open, clubs will have the opportunity to bolster their rosters ahead of the impending season which will also see the GFF’s Elite League Season Six kick off in February.
The transfer window opened on January 1 and will close on January 31.
As clubs go about their business, the GFF in a release to the media said that “all registered clubs are urged to provide the Federation with the required supporting documentation to validate any changes, with all submissions undergoing a mandatory twenty-four-hour vetting and approval process”.
The governing body of football in Guyana also noted; “All replacements must explicitly receive approval from the GFF and will be meticulously recorded on the official team roster”.
Meanwhile, in the same breath, GFF General Secretary Ian Alves highlighted that the ten clubs participating in the Elite League Season Six will need “to acquaint themselves with the revised Rules and Regulations”. He also pointed out that transfers will only be considered valid if carried out within the approved GFF/FIFA transfer window periods.
“Elite League teams are now restricted to a maximum of five (5) alterations within their roster of twenty-five (25) players for the remainder of the League. Additionally, any requests for changes to the Team Roster must bear the signatures of both the Club President and Secretary before submission to the General Secretary”, the release added.
