The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) met with the Government of Guyana (GoG) on Wednesday to commence the consultation process for national approval required to accept FIFA’s offer for Guyana to become the first CARICOM member to benefit from the Football for Schools programme.
This was confirmed by an official release from the federation. According to the correspondence, the programme, which will see FIFA providing financial, technical and logistical support to establish sustainable football initiatives and competitions in primary and secondary schools globally, requires a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the GFF and GoG, the creating of a national steering committee and an agreed list of participating schools.
GFF President, Wayne Forde, met with Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Charles Ramson Jr; Chairman of the National Sports Commission, Kashif Muhammad; Director of Sport, Steve Ninvalle; and Assistant Director of Sport, Melissa Dow-Richardson, to discuss the details of the MoU and the composition of the steering committee.
