The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has taken note of the recent announcement by an entity called ‘Halendino Sports’, which was carried in another section of the media (Kaieteur News article) titled “Halendino Sports to host trials” on January 14, 2021.
The GFF, in a missive on Thursday, sought to make it clear to all members of the football community that Halendino Sports is not affiliated to the Federation, and that this activity has not been approved or sanctioned by the Federation. As such, no registered member of the Federation is authorised to participate in this activity.
Under the GFF Constitution, and in the interest of good governance, player safety and professional standards, GFF members are authorised to participate only in officially sanctioned events.
Any participation in unsanctioned activities may result in punitive action, including suspension.
Further, at this time, any on-field activity must be reviewed and approved by the National COVID-19 Task Force before permission is granted by the Federation. As such, the GFF is urging the football community to continue to observe and adhere to COVID-19 regulations and protocols as ordered by the Government of Guyana to protect the health and wellbeing of the general populace during the pandemic.
