EBFA launches U14 League to nurture young talent

The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has unveiled the official launch of the East Bank Football Association’s Under-14 Boys League, which kicked off on October 27, 2024 at the Herstelling Raiders Football Club ground, East Bank Demerara.
This league marks an important step in developing young talent in Guyana by providing an avenue for emerging players to showcase their skills, gain match experience, and potentially join the national team.
The inaugural tournament features five competitive teams: Herstelling Raiders, Diamond United, Swan FC, Soesdyke Falcons, and Timehri United. Each team will face off twice in a round-robin format, with games scheduled to take place every Sunday until the tournament concludes. This structure ensures ample playtime and experience, fostering growth and allowing players to build on their skills in a supportive yet challenging environment.

Players participating in the league would benefit from a unique opportunity to compete at a higher level, wherein they would interact with players from different clubs and backgrounds. Additionally, the tournament would serve as a scouting platform, with standout players being identified for further training and development as part of preparations for Guyana’s national Under-15 team next year.
This initiative, the first of its kind for the East Bank Football Association, underscores the EBFA’s commitment to nurturing young athletes and strengthening youth football across the country.
