5-A-Side Football fun day to be held in Linden

The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) will participate in the second staging of the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) Women’s Day initiative today, May 21 with a 5-A-side football display from various female teams in Guyana at the Wisburg Secondary School Ground, Linden.
The one-day event celebrated by the various Member Associations throughout the CONCACAF region is aimed at further promoting women’s football throughout the region. “CONCACAF has created the Women’s Football Day as a unique initiative to encourage greater participation from women of all ages in the game,” the statement from CONCACAF said. CONCACAF has a successful history with women’s football including the hosting of the last FIFA Women’s World Cup which was assessed to be the most successful ever.
A brief opening ceremony will be held before the kick-off of the fun day at 10:00hrs. The Fun day will feature 11 teams from Regions 3, 4, 6 and 10.
Admission to the venue is absolutely free and the GFF encourages everyone to go and support the female teams as part of the Women’s Football Day celebration.
