THE outcome of this Sunday’s (January 14) Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Elite League Promotion Playoff eliminator match between Slingerz and Victoria Kings Football Clubs will determine which team will claim the highly sought-after second position in the Elite League Season Six which starts in February.

Sunday’s showdown will take place at 19:30 hours at the Ministry of Education ground (MoE) on Carifesta Avenue in Georgetown.

On January 8, Monedderlust of the Berbice Football Association secured a 1-0 victory over West Demerara Football Association’s Slingerz in the GFF Elite League Promotion Playoff final, earning automatic promotion to Season Six of the Elite League.

The Eliminator Match gives Slingerz a renewed opportunity to return to the Elite League, and the struggling Victoria Kings, who finished second to last in Elite League Season Five, a crucial chance to retain their spot as an Elite League team.

Competition Director Troy Peters foresees an intense showdown between two determined teams set on playing in the upcoming Elite League Season Six.

“The GFF anticipates an exhilarating clash between these two teams, both fiercely committed to playing in the eagerly anticipated Elite League Season Six. Fans should prepare for an electrifying and tension-filled showdown,” Peters said.

The GFF Elite League Promotional Playoff kicked off on December 17 and featured nine triumphant teams from the Member Associations’ Leagues battling fiercely for a prized automatic entry into the esteemed Elite League Season Six.

Kicking off the action on Sunday will be the GFF Women’s League Division One encounter between Guyana Defence Force and Potaro Strikers at 17:00 hours.
