Denmark Football Federation President to visit Guyana by year end

… MoU to be signed during visit

First Vice President of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF), Brigadier (Retired) Bruce Lovell on Tuesday met with the President of the Denmark Football Federation, Jesper Moller, in Paris, France on the sidelines of the 69th FIFA Congress to discuss areas of cooperation between the two football bodies.

The discussions centred on Denmark providing assistance to the GFF in the areas of coaching and refereeing education, infrastructure development, governance and football administration, and girls and women football development, and will lead to the establishment of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for which the Danish Federation President will visit Guyana in October this year to sign.
The meeting was done within the framework of UEFA Assist programme, which was launched in 2017, whereby UEFA member associations provide assistance to other confederations and member associations to develop and strengthen football across the globe.

The GFF First Vice President is representing GFF President Wayne Forde at the FIFA Congress. Forde remained in Guyana to streamline the national team’s preparations for their Gold Cup debut.
The MoU with the Denmark Football Federation was first announced on April 5 by Forde, who disclosed at the time that the MoU was initially supposed to be signed on the day in question. However, the engagement had to be pushed back owing to Moller’s inability to visit Guyana because of UEFA duties.
Nevertheless, Forde disclosed that the time would be used to ascertain what projects the GFF would undertake as part of the partnership with Denmark.
“One category of project will be infrastructure. We visited one of the locations that we want to do a massive grassroots development pitch at, and we are also discussing some of the specific areas of coaching education that we want to put as the first items on the partnership agenda,” Forde had revealed back in April.
