Georgetown Football Association… DISSOLVED!

The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has taken the painful, self-imposed but constitutionally obligatory step of appointing an Interim Management Committee (IMC) to manage the affairs of the Georgetown Football Association, effective June 29, 2018 until new elections are conducted in accordance with the Constitution of the Georgetown Football Association.
This action became necessary following the GFA’s inability to resolve the many challenges it faced over the last two and a half years; challenges which have resulted in stultification of football programmes and initiatives.
Those management challenges have been exacerbated by the GFA’s inability, in violation of Article 29 [1] of its Constitution, to convene its Annual General Meeting in April of 2017, despite the many interventions by the GFF to provide management guidance.
The GFF has therefore been left with no option other than to indicate to the GFA that it is “revoking the mandate entrusted to the members of the Executive Committee of the Georgetown Football Association”; and the appointment of the IMC has been taken in conformity with the guidelines and provisions of Article 2 Para. [d] & [e], Article 13. Para. [a], and Article 82 of the GFF Constitution, as well as Article 8 Para. 2 of the FIFA Statutes.
In communicating its decision to the GFA, the GFF informed that it could “no longer exercise reasonable confidence in the ability of the GFA Executive Committee members to continue holding the various offices to which they were duly elected.”
They were also instructed to “reconcile and return all financial and material assets that are the legal property of the GFF.” The membership of the IMC will be announced in due course.
