Ranks of the third Infantry Battalion, based at Lethem, Region Nine, recently participated in a friendly football match with members of the Brazilian Armed Forces at the Frontier Platoon Base of the first Infantry Jungle Brigade in Bon Fim, Brazil.
The activity formed part of ongoing engagements between the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) and the Brazilian Armed Forces, in keeping with the commitment made at the last Regional Military Exchange to foster deeper cooperation and strengthen bonds of friendship between the two militaries.
The GDF team was led by Second Lieutenant José Watts, while the Brazilian side was captained by Mr Marcelo Dillon. The match was conducted in a spirit of camaraderie and friendly competition, reflecting the close and enduring partnership shared between the two neighbouring forces.
At the conclusion of the match, both sides expressed appreciation for the opportunity to engage in meaningful interaction outside of operational duties, noting that such exchanges contribute significantly to mutual understanding, trust, and teamwork.
The sporting engagement also reaffirmed the shared commitment of the GDF and the Brazilian Armed Forces to promoting regional cooperation, cultural exchange, and good neighbourly relations.
