Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Elite League champion, the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) will be unable to participate in the CONCACAF Caribbean Club Shield due to financial constraints.
This unfortunate and embarrassing development occurred at the eleventh hour. According to an official release from the federation, “The GDF FC received from CONCACAF a total of twelve thousand United States Dollars (USD $12,000) as subvention to offset costs related to air travel while the club was required to provide the remaining sum. Unfortunately, the GDF FC has been unable to acquire the additional amount resulting in their non-participation in this tournament.”
