Guyana Football Federation (GFF) boss Wayne Forde says that the participation of several national players in an unsanctioned football tournament in Buxton could have derailed the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers training camp if an outbreak of Covid-19 cases was detected during testing.
Speaking at a press conference held on Tuesday at the GFF’s National Training Center in Providence, Forde said, “So apart from breaching the regulations, when a player or a group of players chooses to go into an environment where there are no COVID-19 restrictions, where it hasn’t been approved by the COVID-19 Task Force, it hasn’t been sanctioned by the GFF, and they run the risk of coming back into the programme and then the next testing, we would have had an alarming outbreak of positive cases.”
