West Dem IMC suspends players, official for involvement in unsanctioned event

– Chair says GFF President instructed body to take those actions

The Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the West Demerara Football Association (WDFA) has suspended several players and an official for their participation in an unsanctioned Inter-Block Championship being held at the West Demerara Secondary School ground.

According to a correspondence that was sent to all the clubs yesterday and signed by Chairwoman Grace Burgess, “We are deeply disappointed with the behaviour displayed by club coaches, officials, players, and supporters during last weekend’s matches. As a result, we are compelled to implement measures to address this conduct and enforce sanctioned where necessary. Previously, a few players were sanctioned for participating in an unsanctioned tournament on Friday, September 27, 2024, and were required to miss their next league game. On Saturday, September 28th, both Pouderoyen FC and Eagles FC had the majority of their players participate in the same unsanctioned tournament.”
