Bakewell supports Aubrey Major for GFF president
Popular bakery and major supporter of sports in Guyana, Bakewell, has endorsed Aubrey “Shanghai” Major and his team to govern local football.
General Manager Rajindranauth Ganga in a release stated, “As the General Manager of Bakewell, one of the foremost sponsors of football in Guyana and one who holds the sport close to my heart, I am pleased to fully support Mr. Major for the Presidency of the Guyana Football Federation.

Not because I couldn’t think of anyone with more years of experience or more poised to hold the position, but because he sees the sport the way that most successful Regional and International Federations and Clubs see it, as a business.”
“For too long the administrative confusion has inadvertently bogged football down, so its time that we change the direction of the game and treat it as a business and not just a administration emphasis that made the sport stagnant over the years with the wealth of talent and potential we having here in Guyana and I believe Aubrey and his carefully selected team of businessmen are the ones to bring about such change that could allow all Guyana to have a product to really attract sport tourism,” he opined.
Mr Ganga further noted in the release that, “Bakewell stand strong in support behind Aubrey and his reputable team to govern the sport and will go the extra mile to assist where ever protectable for the continued growth and development of the game, of which we were always a contributor to the sport.”
“I have united with Aubrey after he convinced me and the entire Bakewell management staff to sponsor the youthful Topp XX Club of Linden since some time in the 90s, to date that is now the Bakewell Topp XX and sought his advice for the Buxton Stars Football Team that is also being sponsored by Bakewell to show his unselfishness, while promoting the Kashif & Shanghai Tournament.
His vision for the sport is refreshing and worth mentioning. Additionally, the wealth of knowledge, wisdom, understanding and skill that the dynamic team he has put together to support his Presidency and what they all bring to the table, makes it clear that he is ready to do great things for the Football industry in Guyana.”
Mr Ganga further pointed out, “Based on the proposals put forward by Mr. Major and his team for the new direction for the growth and development of the game, I pledge therefore on behalf of Bakewell and on my own personal behalf, we have no hesitation in supporting Mr. Aubrey “Shanghai” Major and his reputable team to govern the sport.”
The Bakewell GM follows in the vein of national player and former Captain Kayode McKinnon who a few days ago threw his support behind Major and called on those tasked with the voting to put Major in office because of his unselfishness towards the development sport and players and their welfare.
