Managers of the 11 village clubs participating in the Upper Mazaruni District Games in Region Seven (Cuyuni- Mazaruni) have last week received cones, balls, bibs and hurdles from the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) through its groundbreaking Members Financial Assistance Programme (M-FAP).
Over the last two months, the GFF has donated millions of dollars in cash and football gear to its Regional Associations, clubs and villages as part of its drive to ensure the continued promotion of football through successful tournaments held across Guyana in August.

On August 15, managers representing Kako, Wax Creek, Phillipai, Imbaimadai, Jawalla, Kamarang, Waramadong, Paruima, Kaikan, Araw and San Juan villages received gear to be used during training sessions to better prepare the players participating in the August 13-20 Upper Mazaruni District Games.
“We continue to distribute football gear across the country through M-FAP, to ensure that players are prepared for competitions which ultimately lift the level of the game,” GFF Technical Director Bryan Joseph shared.
The Upper Mazaruni District Games are held annually over several days in Region Seven, and feature athletes in various disciplines, including football, archery, athletics, swimming and volleyball. The football competition is the main sport of the Games.
GFF has sent its congratulations to the organisers of the Games, and wishes all participating villages a memorable few days of healthy competition.
GFF President Wayne Forde launched M-FAP in 2020 with the full approval of Congress. The objective is to provide support to the Federation’s members under four pillars: Administration and Operations, Equipment and Material, Competition and Technical Development, and Infrastructure Development.
