When the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) unveiled its bold 2024-2032 Strategic and Operational Plan, following the conclusion of the Paris 2024 Games last year, it breathed hope into stakeholders. Entering 2025, it is unclear when and if those plans are actually going to be implemented.
Among those plans were enhanced support for athletes, improved administrative capacities, and the integration of sports science. The proposing of those initiatives appeared to signal a new dawn for sports in Guyana. Yet, nearly five months after the plan’s announcement, questions are surfacing about the promises.
These commitments, coupled with a pledge to collaborate with key stakeholders, painted a vision of a more competitive and sustainable sports programme for the country.
