The simple hand over took place yesterday at the Georgetown Football Club Ground when the GFA Academy Training Centre was in full swing.
Junior Forrester, cousin of Younge handed over one of the balls to GFA Vice President Akram Sabre in the presence of President Otis James and other officials.
Foster informed that Younge, who now lives in Albany New York, was instrumental in persuading his workplace, Adirondack to donate the balls to the clubs through the GFA. The company noted that over the past decade, it has been fortunate to welcome wonderful Guyanese families joining the entity.
