The Guyana Football Federation (GFF), via its Member Financial Assistance Programme (MFAP), donated several pieces of football equipment to the Rupununi Football Association (RFA) to aid in the staging of its ongoing grassroots initiatives.
This was confirmed by an official release from the federation. According to the correspondence, GFF Technical Director Bryan Joseph and Competitions Director Troy Peters made the presentation, which consisted of balls, training vests, and hurdles, to RFA Chief Norbert Williams on Saturday, November 4th, in Lethem.
Joseph said, “The RFA continues to lead with grassroots football. They have the largest population of players across the Nine Regional Associations, as well as an astonishing 29 football clubs registered with the RFA. It is so satisfying to be able to support the passion and commitment of these clubs by presenting much-needed equipment to help sustain the development of football in the RFA. We’ve exchanged ideas on how youth football can be further impacted through appropriate competition structures as well as clubs getting involved by promoting youth competitions.”
The GFF grassroots initiative plays a pivotal role in the ongoing advancement of football in Rupununi, which is the most populous football region in Guyana. It complements the federation’s Academy Training Centre programme. The GFF’s groundbreaking M-FAP programme continues to supply crucial equipment and training to grassroots coaches, ensuring that the sessions are well-organised and enjoyable for all participants.
The MFAP programme, which was created in 2020, supports the GFF membership via the four key areas of administration and operations, equipment and materials, competition and technical development, and infrastructure development. The RFA Grassroots Programme is conducted on Sundays at the Wadapna Sports Ground, Lethem.
