Current imbroglio not affecting sport’s development
The imbroglio that has saturated the international, regional and local football landscapes is not preventing local officials from forging ahead with plans to sustain the development of the game here.
This is according to Acting President of the Guyana Football (GFF) Federation Franklin Wilson, who during a press briefing to outline the agenda for the hosting of the CFU Women’s Under-17 qualifiers, revealed that the long awaited construction of the FIFA funded GOAL Project which had a number of start and stop phases has once again begun.

Wilson, who took over the reins of power of the GFF following the provisional ban inflicted on President Colin Klass by the Ethics Committee of the sport’s governing body apart from making that disclosure, informed the media of Guyana’s impending participation in the World Cup qualifiers which begin on September 2 when Guyana face Barbados at the National Stadium.
Guyana is placed in Group 2 along with Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and Bermuda and Wilson indicated that former Technical Director of the senior national team Trinidadian Jamal Shabazz services has been procured to help prepare the squad for the upcoming engagements.
The squad will be named shortly according to Wilson.
Meanwhile, Wilson also disclosed that very soon, a tour for the media wishing to see first hand the infrastructural work being done on the GOAL Project at Orangestein, East Bank Essequibo will be organised.
