MIAMI, United States (CMC) – The interim head of Guyana’s football, Clinton Urling, met with CONCACAF officials here last week, to begin charting the way forward for the sport in the country.

Urling was recently named to lead the Normalisation Committee, appointed by football’s world governing body FIFA, in the wake of the recent bitter dispute among officials of the Guyana Football Federation.
“The objective of this courtesy visit by Committee Chairman Urling was to determine the next steps in the progression of football in Guyana and to keep it on solid and stable footing,” said CONCACAF president Jeff Webb.
The committee will run the day-to-day affairs of Guyana’s football and has been given full executive powers by FIFA in decision-making.
More importantly, the committee has been mandated by the constitution to organise fresh elections by September next year, when their tenure ends.
Urling, a Guyana businessman, said it was important that all key sectors in the country work together to rebuild the sport.
“Faith in Guyana football must be restored,” said Urling.
“However, the cooperation and involvement of all football stakeholders and the country as a whole will be required. Guyana is a country with amazing football potential.”
