GFF makes youth tournament reports available online
In a bid to promote accountability and transparency on its part, the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has made the reports for its youth tournaments public online.
The key tournaments – the National U-15, U-17 and U-20, which serve to inform the GFF’s Youth Development Strategy – have been executed with support from long-standing partners Pele Alumni; National Milling Company (NAMILCO) and new partner Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC).
The reports, among others, capture the tournaments executed – participating Regional Member Associations, teams, match fixtures and results, goal scorers, highlights as well as challenges. However, owing to partner confidentiality agreements, the financial information is not included.
GFF President Wayne Forde said the release of the reports is now part of the Standing Operating Procedure (SoP) of the Federation.
“The Executive Committee has always emphasised transparency and accountability as part of its key values and this extends to the operations of the Secretariat. The release of the reports of some of our most critical tournaments is now part of our SoP as we recognise that football, as much as it is ours, is also part of the public good,” he explained. “It will afford, among others, the nation to understand the achievements and challenges of football administration, the opportunities which await their engagement, and track the development of our most important resources and talent from as early as possible, so we can have maximum involvement for the good of the game.”
Forde added that reports of national and international tournaments will also be part of the GFF’s SoP and made public.
