GFF President, WFA President appointed to FIFA committees

Guyana Football Federation (GFF) President Wayne Forde and Executive Committee member/Women’s Football Association President Andrea Johnson have both recently been appointed to FIFA committees.
President Forde has been appointed to serve on FIFA’s Men’s National Team Competitions Committee for the 2025–2029 term, the GFF announced Tuesday afternoon. The appointment was confirmed by FIFA following decisions recently taken by the FIFA Council.
Forde will serve as a member of the committee, which plays a key role in shaping policies and overseeing matters related to men’s national team tournaments globally. FIFA expressed its pleasure and honour in extending this appointment, which is in line with the relevant provisions of the FIFA Statutes and Governance Regulations.
According to the Federation, Forde’s appointment represents a significant achievement not only for him personally but also for Guyana and the wider Caribbean football community. His inclusion on the committee reflects the growing recognition of Guyana’s leadership and contribution to the development of football at the international level.
“The Guyana Football Federation extends its sincere congratulations to President Forde on this prestigious appointment and expresses confidence that he will serve with distinction and continue to represent the interests of Guyana and the region on the global stage,” the GFF noted in a statement via social media.
Executive Committee Member Andrea Johnson has also been appointed to serve on FIFA’s Women’s Football Development Committee for the 2025–2029 term. The appointment was confirmed by FIFA following decisions recently taken by the FIFA Council.
Johnson will serve as a member of the committee, which is responsible for advancing the development, growth, and global profile of women’s football. FIFA expressed its pleasure and honour in extending this appointment, which is in line with the relevant provisions of the FIFA Statutes and Governance Regulations.
The GFF shared that Johnson’s appointment represents a significant achievement for both her and the Federation, particularly at a time when the GFF has been placing increased emphasis on the growth and development of women’s football in Guyana. Her new role provides Guyana with an important seat at the table, allowing her to contribute to shaping global strategies and decisions that can further influence and support the local women’s game.
Again, the GFF expressed via a statement, “The Guyana Football Federation extends its congratulations to Ms Johnson on this achievement and is confident that she will make a meaningful contribution in her new capacity.”
