Kudos to the visionary organisers of the Global Super League
Dear Editor,
As an avid sports enthusiast, I am thrilled by the triumphant victory of our team—the Amazon Warriors. We are all elated that the GSL 2025 trophy is now “we own.” But amid the roaring, jubilant crowd on Friday night, I couldn’t help but wonder: how many spectators realized they were witnessing not just a sporting event, but a moment of national transformation?
The Global Super League may very well be one of the most transformative initiatives in our sporting history.
First, to have Guyana host this tournament that welcomes teams from across continents is a masterstroke in nation branding. As the league continues to grow, so too will the visibility of the Guyana brand. Millions around the world will discover where we are and who we are.
Second, the commercial impact for a country of our size rivals hosting the Olympics. Key sectors—hospitality, transportation, entertainment, restaurants, eco-tourism, and aviation—stand to gain tremendously. Job creation and income growth will ripple out to local workers, uplifting lives across the board.
Third, the skills transfer is invaluable. Hosting an event of this scale demands excellence in marketing, technology, safety, and logistics. Guyanese citizens will acquire world-class competencies that serve our development far beyond sport.
I respectfully urge the organizers to engage North American clubs for future participation. A long-term commitment from these teams could position Guyana as the cricketing mecca of the Western Hemisphere.
Congratulations to the Amazon Warriors, and kudos to the visionary organizers of the Global Super League.
