Pele, GFC receive footballs as part of reintegration process
Recently demoted Elite League participants, Pele and Georgetown Football Club (GFC), were presented with footballs by the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) President Wayne Forde to aid their reintegration process.
The GFF via an earlier release had stated that they have commenced the integration process of the two clubs into the Georgetown Football Club (GFA), following their relegation from the Elite League.
The presentation which occurred on July 18th at the GFF headquarters, was made to Pele FC Vice-President Alexander Best and GFC Team Manager Jafar Gibbons.
According to a release from the federation, Forde said: “We will do our part in repairing the bridge and rebuilding this relationship that has been an extraordinary relationship over the years. The legacy of the clubs was one where they both have been dominant forces on the field and we hope that the leadership of the clubs will reposition their priorities and objectives over the coming months to reassert themselves as strong bodies.”
Meanwhile Vice-President Best added, “We are excited to be back on the field...it’s very nice to be back with the GFF and we will accept these balls as a part of the grooming process for the team. We will mostly wish to use the balls for the practice games as we normally train Printed and published daily by Guyana Publications Inc 46/47 Robb Street, Lacytown, Georgetown.
