2025 Inter-Guiana Games… Delegations from Suriname, French Guiana to arrive for final prep

Nov 02, 2025 Sports

Kaieteur Sports –High-level delegations from French Guiana and Suriname is expected to arrive in Guyana this week to meet with Director of Sport, Steve Ninvalle, and officials from the National Sports Commission (NSC) to finalise plans for the 2025 Inter-Guiana Games (IGG), scheduled for December 5–7 in Georgetown.

Wednesday’s visit marks the final preparatory meeting ahead of this year’s highly anticipated Games, which will see the three neighboring territories (Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana) reignite a longstanding sporting rivalry built on friendship and cultural exchange.

During their stay, the visiting delegations will sign the Protocol Agreement that will confirm the disciplines to be contested at this year’s IGG, while also conducting venue inspections of the facilities expected to host the various events.

The IGG, which first began in 1967, stands as one of the region’s longest-running youth sports exchanges, designed to foster unity, cooperation, and mutual understanding among the young athletes of the Guianas.

Over the decades, the Games have produced several athletes who went on to represent their countries at the international level.

Director of Sport, Steve Ninvalle, said that Guyana is well-positioned to host all proposed disciplines and assured that preparations are progressing steadily.

“We are ready to welcome our counterparts from French Guiana and Suriname,” Ninvalle stated, while adding, “Guyana is prepared to host the Inter-Guiana Games at the highest standard, and we look forward to an exciting and productive engagement with our visiting colleagues.”

Ninvalle further emphasized the importance of dialogue, not only in finalizing this year’s hosting arrangements but also in enhancing the overall structure and impact of the IGG.

According to Ninvalle, “this event continues to be a vital platform for youth development in sports. Our discussions will also focus on how we can improve the Games to better serve our student-athletes.”

With Guyana set to host, the 2025 Inter-Guiana Games promises to celebrate not only competition but also camaraderie, regional cooperation, and the enduring spirit of youth sports.
