THE Guyana Football Federation (GFF), in its continuing efforts to bring the Georgetown Football Association (GFA) back to a state of normalcy and based on a correspondence from the GFA Clubs dated 8th October, 2019, in accordance with Article 31 (2) of the Constitution of the (GFA), an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Georgetown Football Association would be convened on Saturday, November 2, from 10:00hrs at the Pegasus Hotel.

The GFF, in a release yesterday, said that in keeping with Articles 22 and 23 of the GFA Constitution, which governs the general meetings and the composition of the general meetings, clubs are asked to send three eligible members –President, Secretary, and Treasurer– who can all take part in the debates, but each member will only have one vote.
The members shall inform the Association in writing of any alternative representative who will be its delegate at least one (1) week before the meeting. Please note, only appointed delegates are invited to attend the meeting.

The agenda for the GFA Extraordinary General Meeting will begin with remarks from President Wayne Forde and acting general secretary Ian Alves, followed by roll call and declaration that the Meeting has been convened and composed in compliance with the GFA Constitution.

Appointment of scrutineers, approval of the Agenda, appointment of members to check the Minutes, election of the members of the executive committee and the new president’s remarks will be done in that order.

“Given the continued lack of activity and a non-functional executive committee in the GFA over the past few years, it would have become necessary for the GFF to intervene as the parent body for the sport in Guyana to ensure that the administrative arm of the game in the city became functional again, this resulted in the GFF appointing an IMC for the GFA in July of 2018 in accordance with the guidelines and provisions of Article 2 [d] and [e], Article 13 [a] of the GFF Constitution and Article 82, in addition to Article 8 (2) of the FIFA Statutes,” the GFF said.
