Brass Aluminum and Cast Iron Foundry Limited (BACIF) has committed to offering 12 apprenticeships opportunities for male and female footballers, as part of its package of support for the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Year-end Football Festivals.

This was confirmed by an official release from the federation yesterday. According to the correspondence, the announcement was made official during the handing over ceremony for the refurbished 2021 Super-16 Championship trophy, as well as Golden Boot accolade.

“Football transcends. BACIF is willing to accept, in 2022, 12 young persons as trainees on programmes that can see their development in the area of the various skills we are involved in. We have to look at the development of football and young people in totality,” BACIF Managing Director Peter Pompey was quoted as saying
