Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Referee Instructor/Assessor Natasha Lewis will attend a FIFA Instructors Seminar in Jamaica from April 10th–12th.
This was confirmed by a release from the federation. According to the correspondence, the forum, which is expected to feature participants from countries such as Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Belize, Curacao, Haiti, Jamaica, Mexico, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United States, will comprise theoretical and practical aspects.
GFF 3rd Vice President Dion Inniss said that the forum is a “high-level training programme that, from all accounts, is well merited”, adding, “I have no doubts you will represent Guyana with distinction and, more importantly, return well-equipped to impart the knowledge gained.”
Meanwhile, GFF President Wayne Forde stated that the officials are “key to shaping the quality of the game and upholding the highest principles and standards; therefore, it is a must that they too receive the same level of attention and investment as players, coaches, and administrative staff in order to foster a culture of professionalism and competence across all facets of the sport.”
“Guyana currently has four FIFA-registered referees. Leading the contingent is FIFA Assistant Referee Kleon Lindey, whose remarkable tenure spans an impressive decade; Denisha Isaacs, the lone female FIFA Assistant Referee; FIFA Referee Shavin Greene; and FIFA Futsal Referee Colin Abel”, the release stated.
