With football season at its peak, the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) second transfer window of 2023 for clubs across Guyana opened on Wednesday, June 1 and will close on Monday, July 31.
GFF General Secretary Ian Alves said this is the first transfer window before the upcoming season which gives clubs a chance to rebuild squads.
Alves explained that for the ten clubs participating in the KFC Elite League Season Five, the Rules and Regulations have been amended in light of the current pre- season transfer window and noted that all transfers will only be effective, if and when, executed during the GFF/FIFA approved transfer window periods of and June 1 – July 31, 2023 and January 1 to 31, 2024.
Other notable changes KFC Elite League teams must take into consideration are:
● Clubs are only allowed to make a maximum of five (5) changes to their team’s roster of twenty-five (25) players for the remaining duration of the League.
● The request for the change to the Team Roster must be signed by the Club President and Secretary before submission to the General Secretary.
The General Secretary explained that changes will be allowed if players have season ending injuries, contracts abroad, migration, death and player transfer.
He reminded clubs to submit the necessary supporting documents to the Federation in order to substantiate changes and that all submissions are subject to a twenty-four hour minimum vetting and approval process.
Replacements must be approved by the GFF, and will be reflected on the official team roster, Alves stressed.
