The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) was featured on two international platforms yesterday, with the highlight being an article on the development of the women’s game which was posted on the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) website.
This was disclosed in a release from the federation yesterday. According to the correspondence, the article which was titled ‘Guyana Reap Rich Rewards for Investment’, highlighted the success of the National u20 Women’s Programme at the recently staged CONCACAF Championship.
National u13 player Josiah King was featured as a young journalist on the international social programme, Football For Friendship (F4F), “Good News” show.
King, who participated in the F4F programme in 2018, said, “I was very excited to have been asked to be part of the F4F Good News Editorial Team. This provided the perfect opportunity for me to spread some positive news with the world during the pandemic.”
Meanwhile GFF President Wayne Forde said, “It is a great feeling of accomplishment for the entire GFF team and our football fraternity. To have the nation’s football being featured across the entire globe for all the right reasons is truly amazing. As a football nation, we have earned the respect and admiration of the global football community, which is an encouraging affirmation.
He further said, “The GFF has achieved much over these past couple of years but there is yet much more work to be done. What is most important is that the evidence clearly suggest that we are on the right path.”
