Nov 28, 2025 Sports

Kaieteur Sports – President of the Guyana Volleyball Federation (GVF) John Flores has described 2025 as a very good year for the growth of the sport sharing that it has expanded with more teams playing nationally, and especially more women teams becoming active.

This he notes is as a direct result of the investment being made by the Government of Guyana as well as Republic Bank in the nationwide B Division championships for male and female teams which saw one thousand players from nine of Guyana’s ten regions competing.

The grand national playoffs and finals took place at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall and the National Gymnasium with simultaneous matches on the first of the two day spectacle, a first for the sport.

Flores posited that this level of partnership (government/private) augurs well for the future of the sport and is ecstatic that the game is on its way for further expansion especially with the academy programme ongoing in Berbice and Georgetown, led by the Ministry of Sport.

This year’s inaugural black tie gala for the recognition of our top sportsmen, women, officials and corporate community is a special way to give recognition to these persons and is a good inspiring event to look forward to.

“The Government’s continued support to volleyball is really appreciated as more rural communities are being given the opportunity to showcase their skills and this will motivate the expansion of the game countrywide. With the incoming infrastructure around the country, athletes will be able to transform and develop their skill levels, and this will allow us to be much more competitive against neighboring countries who we intend to invite more here to help us improve. The volleyball Federation looks forward to a massive 2026,” Flores stated.
