Futsal Finals Fiasco

GFF President Wayne Forde

Guyana Football Federation (GFF) President Wayne Forde yesterday expressed regret at several COVID-19 guidelines being broken as well as the overfilling of the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall during the final of the GFF/Kashif and Shanghai Futsal Championships.

Sparta Boss defeated Bent Street 5-3 on penalty kicks in the final Saturday night to bring the curtain down on three year-end tournaments organized exclusively by the GFF and the K&S Organisation.

According to reports, spectators far exceeded the seating capacity of the venue which led Jermaine Figueira, Opposition Member of Parliament and Shadow Minister of Sports, to call the event a COVId-19 super spreader.
