GFF President Wayne Forde also travelled to Essequibo to join the EPFA football fraternity in celebrating the achievements of the young players and the successful completion of the regional championship.
During his featured remarks, Forde commended the EPFA Executive Committee for its commitment to the programme while also recognizing the efforts of the participating clubs, referees, parents and other stakeholders.
“I want to commend the Executive Committee of the Essequibo Pomeroon Football Association for your dedication and commitment to this programme, and I also extend my appreciation to the clubs, referees, parents and all the stakeholders who have contributed to its success,” Forde said.
He also praised the young footballers for their discipline and commitment throughout the competition, describing the national initiative as both historic and ambitious.
“The GFF Youth Ensemble Programme is not just historic; it is also ambitious. To coordinate a national youth competition involving more than 100 clubs across all nine Regional Associations is a gigantic task,” Forde added.
Forde also credited the GFF Technical and Competitions Departments, along with the executives of the Regional Associations, for their role in bringing the programme to this stage.
“I am proud of each of you, and I feel honoured to serve Guyana’s football alongside each of you. Your commitment to developing the next generation of footballers is helping to build a stronger foundation for the future of our game,” the GFF president said.
With the EPFA leg now completed, four teams have booked their places in the GFF Youth Ensemble National Championship. Dartmouth Dominators FC and Vertex Vipers FC will represent the Under-13 category, while Dartmouth Dominators FC and Charity Extreme FC will advance in the Under-15 division.
The national championship is expected to kick off in the coming days, with matches scheduled across all nine Regional Associations as the GFF’s ambitious youth development programme enters its completion phase.
