night launched their manifesto at the Water Crest Hotel, Waterloo Street, Georgetown.
Speaking at the function, head of the team Attorney-at-law Nigel Hughes said that one of their plans is to engage the government so that football can become a regular element of the schools’ curriculum which will lay the foundation for the future.
He added that everyone must be involved for the benefit of the sport and his team is willing to work with all stakeholders to move the game to another level.
Hughes spoke about the importance of coaches and that the hinterland needs to be involved frequently. He explained that more emphasis needs to be placed on female football and they have a 10-year plan which will ensure the growth of the sport in Guyana.
Among the objectives of team Unity are to empower associations so that they can become self sufficient and play a more effective role in the future, to make football a level playing field with access and participation by all stakeholders without discrimination, to ensure a high level of transparency and integrity, to use the power of football to improve lives and create a more stable society and to establish a foundation for Guyana to become a force in CONCACAF.
Another member of team Unity Faizul Khan highlighted the importance of proper facilities and coach education. He said that Guyana does not have a home for football and international games are being played on a cricket pitch which is not good for 2015.
Khan, who is the General Secretary of the Georgetown Football Club, pointed out that one of the major areas for concern is goalkeeping. “We need more local coaches and to establish sister programmes with professional clubs overseas so local talent can gain exposure,” he stated.
Robbie Rambarran touched on sports medicine, while Troy Cadogan stressed on the importance of marketing.
Other members of team Unity are Aubrey Major, Karen Williams, Javed Ali, Odinga Lumumba and Mark Waldron.
