THE Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has garnered support from The National Milling Company of Guyana Inc (NAMILCO), securing sponsorship for the purchase of equipment to be used at venues for the seamless operation of KFC Elite League Season Six.

On Thursday, February 22, NAMILCO presented a cheque to the GFF.

Season Six is set to kick off tomorrow, Sunday, February 25, at the National Training Centre at Providence, East Bank Demerara, under newly installed FIFA-approved lights and an upgraded pitch.

The opening match features a clash between the newly promoted Monedderlust FC and Slingerz FC at 6 p.m., followed by the main event at 8 p.m. – an intense showdown between Santos FC and the reigning champions Guyana Defence Force FC.

GFF President Wayne Forde thanked NAMILCO for its consistent “corporate support” “as we continue to fortify the foundation of local football with the expansion of [the] Elite League at the core.

Participating in Season Six alongside Monedderlust FC, Slingerz FC, Santos FC, and Guyana Defence Force FC are Western Tigers FC, the Guyana Police Force FC, Fruta Conquerors FC, Den Amstel FC, Buxton United FC, and Ann’s Grove FC.

A production team from SportsMax, the Caribbean’s leading sports broadcaster, is currently in Guyana to film the opening night of the league.

They will in addition document the progress in local football with emphasis on the KFC Elite League and the national team programme.
