The opportunity was also used to present the Federation’s budget for its highly anticipated Seniors National Championships slated for the 18th December, 2021.
Both Ninvalle and Muhammad indicated that the Commission would strongly contribute financially to the staging of the first Seniors National Competition to be held since 2019. The exact extent of that financial support has not yet been indicated, but the GBBFF is anticipating that, with its fundraising activities and support from the National Sports Commission and other sponsors such as Fitness Express, it would be able to make Seniors 2021 a grand spectacle.
Guyana’s successful bid to host CAC 2024 was also high on the agenda at the meeting, and both Ninvalle and Muhammad congratulated the GBBFF on its successful bid, and further expressed their happiness at Guyana being given opportunity to host such an international competition. They equally encouraged the GBBFF to commence preparations now, because 2024 is right around the corner.
Both Ninvalle and Muhammad have been informed that Guyana will be sending two athletes to the 2021 Dominican Republic IFBB Open, slated for 22nd-24th October, 2021. The athletes have been named as Darious Ramsammy and Nicholas Albert.
