Slingerz FC has made a bold statement at the just-concluded Guyana Energy Conference and Supply Chain Expo by blending the worlds of professional football and national development.
Its active participation at the Youth Forum held at the Marriott Hotel set Slingerz apart as the only sports organization to make a special presentation during the event.
Last season’s Elite League leading scorer, 20-year-old Marcus Tudor, who netted 18 goals, had the honour of presenting Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo with a personalized Slingerz FC jersey in a memorable moment at that Forum. The jersey, emblazoned with the number 7 to signify Jagdeo’s role as the 7th President of Guyana, was a symbol of both admiration for national leadership and a commitment to fostering youth development through football.

The club’s initiative resonated strongly with key figures in attendance.
Slingerz FC also had the privilege of meeting the conference Chairman Anthony Whyte, a devoted football enthusiast whose own sons have represented Guyana’s national team, the Golden Jaguars. Whyte expressed his pride and appreciation for the club’s visit, and highlighted how the passion for football can bridge the gap between sports and broader business and energy sectors.
Slingerz FC has said it is dedicated to elevating professional football in Guyana, while also illustrating its proactive role in driving positive change, by connecting with influential stakeholders.
The former Elite League champions have said this initiative is part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts, and through their young players, they aim to engage various segments of society in discussions on youth empowerment through sport.

With a focus on football excellence and community impact, Slingerz FC are seeking to contribute to a stronger and more dynamic sports landscape in the country.
