A partnership has been formed between the Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation (GAPLF) and the Pele Football Club Alumni Corporation.

The latter has provided the federation with a donation of equipment.

This donation is in support of the manner in which the local competitions are run and of course to help with the general development of the sport.

Pele Football Club Alumni Corporation places a major focus on athletics and academic development among the youth, along with leadership skills.

Meanwhile, Public Relations Officer of the GAPLF, Runita White, noted that the federation is aware of the fact that there is an active youth arm that can benefit from the collaboration between the Pele Football Club Alumni Corporation and the GAPLF.

The GAPLF will be playing their part to support the Pele Alumni Association through coordinating with them in their outreach activities with the youth and will make sure to include it within the GAPLF’s schedule of outreaches.

The partnership was formalized on the NCN Sports Magazine Show hosted by Edwin Seeraj.

In a release to the media, the federation stated that they are “ecstatic about this partnership since it is a positive step for the federation because over the years we would have received unwavering support from a few business entities and this extends our network moving forward”.
