Kaieteur Sports – A team of local sport administrators are scheduled to visit Suriname later this month for an important review meeting on the 2024 Inter Guiana Games (IGG).

Director of Sport, Steve Ninvalle
Guyana’s team will be led by Director of Sport, Steve Ninvalle. The meeting, scheduled to take place in Paramaribo on September 19, will bring together officials from the three participating countries to assess the successes and lessons of last year’s event.
Mr. Ninvalle noted that the upcoming discussions will play a key role in ensuring smooth coordination and strengthening cooperation among the participating nations. “The Inter Guiana Games is more than just a sporting event—it is an opportunity to deepen cultural ties, foster youth development, and showcase the talents of our young athletes. Our focus in Suriname will be on building on the gains of 2024 while setting the stage for a successful hosting in December,” he said.
In addition to reviewing the 2024 Games that was held in French Guiana, the meeting will also serve as a platform to provide updates and finalize preparations for the 2025 Inter Guiana Games, which will be hosted in Guyana from December 5 to 7, 2025.
The Guyanese delegation is expected to comprise senior officials from the National Sports Commission who will work closely with their Surinamese and French Guianese counterparts.
The Inter Guiana Games is a multi-sport event involving Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana, aimed at promoting friendship, cooperation, and regional integration through sport.
