Alves cautions Elite Clubs as transfer window opens

The January transfer window is now open, giving clubs the opportunity to strengthen their rosters ahead of a busy upcoming season, which includes the rollout of the Guyana Football Federation’s (GFF’s) Elite League Season Six in February.
The transfer window was opened on January 1st and will be closed on January 31st. As such, GFF General Secretary Ian Alves has reminded the ten clubs participating in the Elite League Season Six to acquaint themselves with the revised Rules and Regulations, adding that transfers will only be considered valid if carried out within the approved GFF/FIFA transfer window periods.

“Elite League teams are now restricted to a maximum of five (5) alterations within their roster of twenty-five (25) players for the remainder of the League. Additionally, any requests for changes to the team roster must bear the signatures of both the Club President and Secretary before submission to the General Secretary,” he reiterated.
All registered clubs are urged to provide the GFF with the required supporting documentation to validate any changes, and all submissions will undergo a mandatory twenty-four-hour vetting and approval process.
All replacements must explicitly receive approval from the GFF, and this will be meticulously recorded on the official team roster.
Already, the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Women’s Team has made use of this transfer window to scoop up two national stars in Jalade Trim and Sandra Johnson, both coming from the Fruta Conquerors Football Club. Trim and Johnson have both already proved instrumental for the GDF Women, having playing major roles in the GDF’s most recent win against the Guyana Police Force (GPF) Women on Sunday last.
