THE Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has sent out communication to its affiliates following information that a group of individuals have been meeting with clubs trying to get them to compete in an unsanctioned tournament.

Following is the full text of the GFF memo:
“It has been brought to our attention that approaches are being made by Organisations and Entities, which are not affiliated to the Guyana Football Federation (GFF), to Clubs within your Associations for them to take part in Competitions and Tournaments which they intend to organise and promote.
Please be reminded of the contents of GFF Circular entitled ‘Revised Conditions for the Granting of Approval for Football Competitions and Tournaments’ dated 16th January 2003 which stipulates that Associations can only approve of their Clubs participation in Competitions and Tournaments which they conduct in their jurisdiction.
For Competitions and Tournaments conducted by other Associations and for which Clubs are invited to participate (Inter-Association Tournaments), these must be sanctioned by the GFF and such notification provided to Associations by the GFF.
Clubs which take part in Competitions and Tournaments which are not sanctioned by their Associations and/or the GFF will be subject to the imposition of penalties by the GFF in accordance with the provisions of its Constitution.”
