The Futsal Championship kicks off on December 16th and will conclude on January 8th.
A total of 32 teams will be in the competition with Georgetown having 16 teams participating. Meanwhile, Linden, West Demerara, East Coast and East Bank will have four each.
K&S representative, Frank ‘English’ Parris, explained that due to logistical reasons and a lack of accommodation, teams from Bartica, Essequibo and Rupununi could not be facilitated this year but they will not be forgotten in upcoming events.
Head of the GFF Wayne Forde, who was present at the launch, shared that the feedback from teams have been very positive and they are all aware that this will be a fully vaccinated only event.
Fans and all other stakeholders are also advised to get vaccinated as well since that will be the only way to gain access into the playing venues. In a bid to help patrons get inoculated, Forde announced that the GFF will be hosting several vaccination drives.
Today, players, match officials, coaches, staff and fans will be able to attend Ministry of Health Emergency Operations Centre vaccination sites in Berbice, Linden and West Coast Demerara, as follows:
