GFF Elite League promotional playoff final rescheduled
-to be played at Ministry of Education Ground
The highly anticipated final of the Guyana Football Federation’s (GFF) Elite League Promotional Playoff between Slingerz and Monedderlust football clubs has been rescheduled to tomorrow night along with a change of venue.
Instead of the final being played at the Eve Leary Ground, it will now kick-off at the Ministry of Education Ground on Carifesta Avenue.
On Sunday night, before the Elite League Promotional Playoff final, the inaugural Women’s League Division One final match between the Guyana Defence Force and the Guyana Police Force will raise the curtains on proceedings at 5 PM.
The winner of the Slingerz and Monedderlust showdown which kicks off at 7 PM will secure an automatic spot in the upcoming Elite League Season Six (which kicks off in February), along with a one million dollars preparation grant.
In a release to the media, the GFF revealed that “the change in venue and date is the result of a scheduling conflict at the Eve Leary Sports Ground in Kingston, Georgetown”.
Despite the late changes, GFF’s Competition Director Troy Peters has issued a call for fans to show their support for their respective clubs by turning out in their numbers.
. To this end, Peters stated; “This will be another weekend of intense competition from four incredibly talented teams. I invite fans to join us on Sunday, showing support for their teams and players in what promises to be an electrifying afternoon.”
The Elite League Promotional Playoff got off the ground on December 17, 2023 and featured nine teams (winners of their respective Member Associations’ Leagues) who all had a shot at entry into the country’s top tier of club football.
