Jan 21, 2024 Sports

Kaieteur Sports – The Guyana Squash Association is thrilled to see the unprecedented $4.6 billion allocation to sports in the 2024 budget. The commitment to allocate the highest-ever funds reflects a profound understanding of the significance of sports in the health and socilisation of our youth, and the pivotal role it plays in fostering national pride and unity.

Lorraine Ince- Vice President of the Guyana Squash Association, noted in a release, “The increased funding opens doors for talent development programmes, grassroots initiatives, and elite training opportunities, ensuring that young athletes from all backgrounds have a fair chance to excel.

In addition, the inclusion of duty-free access for sporting equipment will facilitate easier access to quality gear for athletes nationwide. This progressive step will undoubtedly enhance training facilities for many of the sports in Guyana; hopefully allowing wider access to more potential athletes.

In essence, the elevated sports budget brings in a new era of athletic excellence and national pride. It symbolizes a commitment to the holistic development of our youth and sets the stage for a thriving sports culture that goes beyond individual successes, contributing significantly to the overall growth of sports in our country.

The GSA looks forward to continuing to build on the strong relationships we have with the Ministry of youth Culture and Sport and other governing sport associations to move squash and other sports forward into the international arenas.”
