Smalta girls’ Pee-Wee football rescheduled to November 25
The start of the Petra Organised Smalta Public Health Ministry Girls Pee-Wee Football has now been shifted to November 25. Initially the tournament was slated to commence today at the Ministry of Education ground, Carifesta Avenue.
However, on Friday, the organisers announced that it has been rescheduled due to
the Guyana Football Federation hosting the FIFA Women’s Day Activities .
At the launching on Tuesday it was disclosed the 4th edition will see 16 schools in Georgetown participating over five rounds for top honours.
Co-Director of Petra, Troy Mendonca urged all stakeholders and individuals associated with the Tournament to treat it with the same vigour that is usually shown to male football tournaments.
He felt the tournament could serve as a catalyst for development of the young girls as it would afford them the opportunity to begin careers and even spark an interest in sports as a whole. Matches are set to commence at 10:00 hrs daily.
