CONCACAF Statement – Guyana Football Bodies Resolution
Manager of Public Affairs of CONCACAF Melissa Rincon yesterday dispatched a statement via e-mail to Kaieteur Sport on behalf of the Organisation pertaining to the current state of affairs following the visit of FIFA and CONCACAF officials to Guyana to mediate in the row that involved the Guyana Football Federation and the Georgetown Football Association over the restoration of voting rights and full membership.
The contents of the e-mail are as follows:
A week after the visit of a FIFA and CONCACAF delegation to Guyana aimed at reconciling differences within the football fraternity in Guyana, we are pleased to confirm that the Georgetown Football Association (GFA) has withdrawn permanently the two injunctions filed in the civil court against the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) and that the GFF has reinstated all membership rights to the GFA, effective January 16, 2013.
“The Guyana football fraternity has shown great commitment to creating dialogue among all stakeholders. We are very pleased with the pledge to revitalize and better organize the sport in the country. We are here to assist the GFF and its members with setting a clear roadmap to achieving this goal,” expressed FIFA Vice President and CONCACAF President Jeffrey Webb on a statement.
“On the verge of the GFA’s elections, we trust your football community will exercise their voting privileges with great responsibility and integrity, with the ultimate goal of creating a greater future for football in Guyana. This should mark an auspicious start to a new era of reform.
“The Guyana football community will soon have to decide for themselves who are the best suited officials to lead their federation. Every member association’s elected representative will have the opportunity to exercise his/her voting privilege in due time. In the spirit of progressing football in Guyana and under principles of equality, responsibility and respect, we are gladly assisting in the fruition of this fundamental process. CONCACAF will welcome the newly elected officials to our regional football family in the hope that their contribution will further expand the development of football in the region.”
