The GBFA recently inked a promotional agreement with the Linden Care Foundation (LCF) which has been in operation for over ten years, offering support services and testing for HIV/AIDS in Linden and its environs. LCF has contributed tremendously towards educating the community.

At the simple ceremony held at the foundation secretariat, coordinator of the GBFA, Rollin Tappin, expressed his appreciation for the establishment of such a significant partnership.
Tappin indicated that the association had made landmark achievements since its establishment and highlighted a number of community projects which will be collaborated through his organisation with the foundation.
The GBFA sent a representative team to a beach football tournament last November in Trinidad & Tobago where sixteen countries were represented, their inaugural tour. Guyana finished third and three players were selected to represent a Caribbean All Star side in Virginia in July for the USA summer tournament.
Next month Guyana has been invited to participate in another tournament in Antigua.
“We have the natural talent for the sport and will be looking to unfold a local beach football grassroots development programme this year.
