After much hype and anticipation, Touchline Football Magazine (TFM), the 2013 edition, made its debut Sunday evening at the Kashif & Shanghai tournament opener at the GFC ground and the GFA / Banks Beer Knockout tournament at the GCC ground. Patrons at both venues were treated to complimentary copies of the full colour glossy magazine which touts itself as being created by the fans for the fans.
TFM, published by the Corbin Media Group (CMG) is an annual general football publication that chronicles the local and international football scenes with thought-provoking articles and exciting photography. According to CMG, the magazine does not promote the agenda of any one individual, organization, group, team, tournament or company.
In an invited comment about Touchline’s premiere, publisher Mr. Simeon Corbin was quick to point out that the magazine could not have been produced had it not been for the corporation of sponsors Banks DIH Ltd, Republic Bank, Ansa McAl, Bryden & Fernandes, GEB Security Services, Elaine Ville Housing Development, Courts Guyana, Inc., John Fernandes Ltd., NAPS, DELTA Airlines, Scotiabank and other stakeholders, who showed a genuine interest in supporting the magazine and the sport of football.
Mr Corbin added that since TFM is the only publication for football in Guyana, it is tasked with bringing the game to life on its pages and providing added exposure to the personalities and the news that surround football. The magazine will be distributed at the various venues throughout the tournament season as well as regionally and internationally.
On the cover of the first edition are eye-popping headlines and a map of Guyana with a collage of football personalities within its borders. Inside, the Alpha United Football Club, FIFA referee Dianne Ferreira-James, national captain Chris Nurse and the Kashif and Shanghai Organization are among the list of numerous features.
Some of the major local tournaments like the GFA / Banks Beer Knockout competition are also highlighted. There is also a special section with lots of “Match Day” pictures and a local and world football trivia spread to test readers’ knowledge of the game.
Putting TFM 2013 into perspective, the magazine is well put together with high quality pictures to compliment the articles. TFM is every football lovers’ dream, with content for everyone, from the fans, to players, coaches and administrators. No matter what gender or age, you will enjoy each and every page.
Many recipients of the magazine were overheard voicing their appreciation and thanking the TFM team for taking the initiative to produce, what was in their opinion: “the most positive and possibly the biggest thing to happen to local football in recent times.
