The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has commenced the mid-season transfer window which will enable the movement of players among the respective clubs.
According to a release, signed by GFF General Secretary Ian Alves, the transfer period will last for the duration of January.
Alves during brief remarks said, “Coming out of the recently concluded year-end tournaments contested across the GFF’s regional associations, clubs and teams have had a good chance to take note of their deficiencies on the pitch, if any, or to see what possible projected adjustments might be needed in order to improve the team’s performance going forward.”
He added, “The mid-season transfer window provides those clubs and teams with an excellent opportunity to fix whatever needs fixing in terms of their composition and cohesion on the field of play. It is therefore anticipated that maximum use would be made of this opportunity accordingly.”
“The GFF will treat a player transfer as complete only if all of these entities are informed and involved, and provided that none of them raise any legitimate concerns about the attempted transfer and, as a result, refuse to concur or approve the transfer,” Alves added.
“A domestic transfer in order to be considered procedurally correct, must involve the former club, the player, the former regional association (RA), the new club, and the new RA (in the case of a transfer out of the former regional association)”, the release stated.
According to the correspondence, the new club has the ability to seek recourse with its relevant RA if a transfer is being hindered by the player’s former club or RA, adding that the GFF will serve as the RA for the Elite League teams.
