The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) and Europe’s governing entity, UEFA, has commenced the process to facilitate the creation of the first professional league on local shores, which forms part of the latter’s Assist Development Programme.
This is, according to a release from the federation. According to the correspondence, discussions have occurred virtually between officials of both entities to outline the necessary teams, steps and protocols which will guide the implementation of the programme, as Guyana aims to become the fifth member of CFU to have a professional establishment.
Presently, the quartet of Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, the Dominican Republic and Haiti have Concacaf classified professional leagues within the CFU region. The pioneering league development project is fully supported by Concacaf, the local governing confederation.
