Tiger Rentals U13 League Cup Championship kicks off today

The Tiger Rentals-sponsored Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Under-13 League Cup Championship kicks off today at the GFF National Training Centre (NTC) at Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD).
This championship will see teams from all districts – such as East Coast, Georgetown, Upper Demerara, East Bank, West Berbice, Bartica, West Demerara, East Berbice, Rupununi and Essequibo – battling for top honours between May 5th (today) and 7th (Sunday).
Teams will be placed in two groups of five, each group will then play a round robin format, and the two teams with the most points in each group would contest the championship match on Sunday.
“This component of organized competition allows us to truly assess the work done by our technical officers at the respective Regional Academy Training Centers. We are looking forward to witnessing the brightest stars of the next generation go up against each other,” GFF Technical Director (ag) Bryan Joseph shared.
The recently concluded GFF-Tiger Rentals Under-13 Inter-Association Development Football League academy phase was launched back in December with youngsters from East Coast Academy Training Centre becoming champions.
The competition was created with the express purpose of fostering young players’ abilities to use their understanding of the sport, and providing them with a competitive national stage to do so.
“These players will form the core of the performance side of our football pyramid. We’re getting a jump start on identifying the talent that will be integrated into our high-performance programs which will help to transform our national teams,” Joseph said.
He also thanked corporate sponsor Tiger Rentals for supporting the Federation’s vision for youth football.
“We are extremely thankful to our main corporate sponsor Tiger Rentals for sharing in our vision to take youth football to the next level. A special thanks to the parents, officials and fans for supporting the league.”
