Guyana Hockey Board excited and optimistic over robust Budget 2026

Feb 04, 2026 Sports

Kaieteur Sports – The Guyana Hockey Board is excited and optimistic upon the presentation of another robust Budget 2026 which includes great investment in sport and national development.

Sustained national investment is key to strengthening programmes, improving access, and creating better opportunities for athletes at every level. The Board welcomed the overall allocation of $6 billion for sports development, along with the $1.3 billion set aside for the maintenance and upgrading of sports grounds nationwide, describing these commitments

as practical steps that can translate into safer, more reliable playing environments and more consistent sporting activity in communities.

“Budget 2026 keeps sport on the national agenda in a meaningful way,” said Dominique Fraser, Secretary of the Guyana Hockey Board. “When facilities are improved and properly maintained, it directly supports participation, structured training, and stronger competition. For hockey, these investments help us build a healthier pipeline—from schools and clubs right through to national representation.”

The GHB noted that the focus on maintenance and continued development is especially important for ensuring that facilities remain active and usable, and that resources reach athletes and programmes throughout the year, not only during major events.

The Guyana Hockey Board extended its appreciation to the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport and the National Sports Commission for ongoing engagement with sporting organisations, and reaffirmed its readiness to work alongside stakeholders to ensure Budget 2026 results in lasting benefits for athletes and sport across Guyana.
