Seven members of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) are set to join Team Guyana in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for the sixth Islamic Solidarity Games scheduled to commence on November 17, 2025.
The GDF athletes will be led by their Head Coach, Staff Sergeant Quinse Clarke, and the team includes Senior Petty Officer Leslain Baird, Sergeant Akeem Stewart, Reserve Lance Corporals Kenisha Phillips, Simeon Adams, and Keliza Smith, and Reserve Private Natricia Hooper.
The athletes will be participating in track and field events at the games. The track and field programme is scheduled to begin on Monday, with competitions running throughout the week.
The other members of the Guyanese team are Emanuel Archibald, Noelex Holder, Revon Williams, Robert Marcus and Aliyah Abrams.
The ranks recently met with Culture, Youth, and Sport Minister Charles Ramson Jr, along with Minister within the Ministry Steven Jacobs, Assistant Director of Sport Franklin Wilson, and other officials.
The send-off underscores national support for the contingent as they travel to represent Guyana. The Chief of Defence Staff, officers, and ranks extend best wishes to the ranks and the entire Team Guyana as they make us proud on the international stage.
