Kaieteur Sports – The much-anticipated Season Six of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Elite League is primed to ignite the passions of football enthusiasts across the nation as it kicks off on February 25th at the National Training Centre (NTC) in Providence.

With a lineup of ten elite clubs ready to battle it out on the pitch, including powerhouses like Western Tigers, Santos, and Fruta Conquerors, the tournament promises a thrilling display of skill and competition. Joining the fray this season are the returning giants Slingerz and Monedderlust FC, adding an extra layer of excitement to this premier championship. Guyana Police Force (GPF), Ann’s Grove, Buxton United and Den Amstel Football clubs are also geared to participate in this year’s tournament.

The last iteration of the tournament saw GDF FC emerge victorious, clinching the Season Five title in a memorable campaign.

Meanwhile, matches are scheduled to take place every Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from February 25th to April 25th. The action will not be confined to Providence, as games will also be held at NTC in Georgetown, Number-5 ground in Berbice, and Leonora on the West Coast of Essequibo.

The GFF has unveiled the official fixtures for the 2024 tournament, with the excitement set to commence on Sunday, February 25th, featuring an electrifying doubleheader between Slingerz FC and Monedderlust FC, and Santos FC and GDF FC with kickoff is slated for 18:00 hours.

In a format that will test the mettle of each club, teams will engage in a two-round battle, with the one amassing the most points crowned as the champions, securing an automatic qualifying spot at the CONCACAF/Caribbean Shield Championship.

As the stakes rise, so do the rewards. The champions of the upcoming season will walk away with a handsome prize of $2,000,000. Second, third, and fourth-place finishers will also receive respective prizes of $1,200,000, $800,000, and $500,000.

The GFF Elite League stands as the pinnacle of senior men’s competition in the nation, not only providing a prestigious stage for athletes but also serving as a vital pathway for talent scouting by the national team, as well as regional and international clubs.

As the countdown to kickoff begins, anticipation is high, and fans eagerly await the spectacle that Season Six of the GFF Elite League promises to deliver.
