GFF provides $1.6M boost to Georgetown Football Association 

The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has reaffirmed its commitment to developing the sport at a regional level by providing the Georgetown Football Association (GFA) $1.6 million to host its 2025 Senior Men’s League.

The financial injection from the GFF’s Member Financial Assistance Programme (MFAP) was formally handed over at the league’s official launch.

The tournament, which kicks off today, features 12 clubs from the Georgetown area vying for the title and a chance to qualify for the 2026 GFF Elite League playoffs.

Since its inception in 2021, the MFAP has been a cornerstone of the GFF’s strategy, providing regional associations with millions of dollars in funding, equipment, and technical support.

The programme empowers these local bodies, giving them the resources and autonomy needed to run their competitions and community-based programmes effectively.

GFF General Secretary Pushpargha Chattopadhyay highlighted the initiative as a key part of the Federation’s long-term vision to expand football’s reach and quality nationwide.

“This is another example of the GFF, through the vision of the President and the decision of the Council, following the path set towards the goal of creating a robust and vibrant football culture in Guyana through MFAP,” he stated.

The GFF has pledged to continue investing in its members through the MFAP and other developmental programmes, ensuring that football benefits from structured, well-supported competitions across every region of Guyana.
