The Blue Waters Girl’s U15 Developmental Football League will be conducted on a national level as a means to provide a platform for the exposure of emerging talents, according to an official release from the Guyana Football Federation (GFF).
Blue Water Shipping Senior Vice President of Sales and Development Richard DeNobrega affirmed, “At Blue Water Shipping, we are always happy to contribute in a meaningful way to sport development. This further development of our partnership with the GFF Step allows us to build on our existing commitment to the U-15 Girls League with the construction of the Blue Water Shipping Stadium. Our vision is that the continued development of talent is boosted and youths from all across Guyana are given the opportunity to benefit from a facility that promotes their growth. This is something we should all be proud of.”
Meanwhile, GFF President Wayne Forde said, “Thank you to Blue Water Shipping for supporting the GFF’s football infrastructure goal.
This is another significant step towards achieving our state-of-the-art stadium, given the green light by Concacaf and FIFA, within the coming four years. The Blue Water Shipping Stadium is poised to become the official home of football.”
He further said, “GFF’s focus on grassroots initiatives is crucial to our strategic plan to ensure the sustainable advancement of football. This initiative’s rollout in 2024 promises positive engagement from participating schools.”
The inaugural edition of the tournament, which was launched in February 2022 and commenced months later, is yet to conclude and has been shelved for several months following an initial period of activity at the Georgetown Cricket Club ground, Bourda.
The tournament featured a small cadre of schools in the Georgetown jurisdiction. However, it was initially slated to be contested in every member association amongst clubs, with the respective winners advancing to a national championship. The release did not disclose any details of the tournament.
