Netrockers head bemoans lack of financial assistance from GFF to UDFA

Akanni Blair

Netrockers president, Akanni Blair, has criticised the state of football in the Upper Demerara Football Association (UDFA) jurisdiction, affirming that the continued lack of financial assistance from the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) will only serve to exacerbate further deterioration.

This sentiment was expressed during an exclusive interview with Stabroek Sport where Blair stated, “The UDFA is in a very sorry state. Football is at its lowest I’ve ever seen. The club structures are in disarray and there seems to be no answers to what’s going on. The UDFA cannot lift itself from its current position and with the present executives unable to secure a major sponsor, it will only get worse before any betterment. With little or no assistance from the [GFF], the football will continue to sink.”
