Kaieteur Sports-Excitement is reaching fever pitch in Region 9 as the Education Department prepares for the much-anticipated KFC International Schools Football Series playoff, set for November 16 and 23.

Annai Secondary School and St. Ignatius School will battle in a home-and-away format to secure the coveted spot as Region 9’s representative in the prestigious KFC Goodwill International Schools Football Series, hosted by the Petra Organisation in December 2024. The tournament will bring together four Caribbean teams and local powerhouses, all vying for the top prize of US$2,500 and trophy.

The opening leg of this high-stakes encounter kicks off today, November 16, at 5:00 PM at the Annai Community Centre Ground. The decisive second leg will unfold on Saturday, November 23, at the St. Ignatius Community Centre Ground.

The victor will earn promotion to the Petra Organisation’s year-end tournament, which promises a star-studded lineup. Teams include defending champions Clarendon College from Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago’s St. Benedict’s College and Speyside High School, Guyana’s Chase Academic Foundation, DC Caesar Fox Secondary from Region 7, and Suriname’s Secondary School League champions.

Both Annai Secondary and St. Ignatius have storied football traditions, making this playoff a showcase of the region’s talent and passion for the game. The stakes couldn’t be higher as the winner earns the honour of representing Guyana on an international stage.
