Guyana Badminton Association endorses 2026 National Budget for Sports
Kaieteur Sports – The Guyana Badminton Association (GBA) has welcomed the Government of Guyana’s continued commitment to sports development as outlined in Budget 2026, which includes a notable $6 billion allocation for the sector. The GBA describes the measures as a positive and timely investment in the development of sport and youth across Guyana.
The Association said the allocation builds on the personal commitment made by His Excellency Dr. Mohamed Irfan Ali following engagements with sports associations last year, signaling a serious and sustained approach to the improvement of sports in Guyana.
“Budget 2026 provides a strong platform for associations to build on recent gains, enhance athlete development, and support the long-term sustainability of sport,” the GBA stated.
The GBA highlighted the budget’s importance to youth empowerment, improved facilities, and investment in people and coaching, all of which are critical to international competitiveness. The Association also pointed to tangible progress already underway, including the soon-to-be-completed dedicated Badminton and Table Tennis facility, continued funding for national athletes, and consistent support from the Government of Guyana.
The GBA expressed appreciation to the Government of Guyana, the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, and the National Sports Commission, and reaffirmed its readiness to collaborate to ensure meaningful and lasting impact from the initiatives outlined in Budget 2026.
