THE Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has finalised a strategic roadmap for the sport’s future after concluding a comprehensive three-day retreat with top FIFA officials at its secretariat in Georgetown.
The process, designed to accelerate development in the South American nation, culminated in a high-level leadership session focused on refining governance structures and improving strategic implementation.
The retreat, led by FIFA Consultant Stewart Regan and FIFA Regional Office Lead Jordan Victoire, delivered a clear, documented vision for Guyanese football.
The final leadership session involved the GFF Executive Committee, and key discussions centred on football’s global structure, the clear roles of governing body leaders, and the necessity of effective communication and planning.
Facilitated by FIFA’s guidance, the Federation is now equipped with a clear operational blueprint for growth. GFF President Wayne Forde and the Council, alongside recently appointed General Secretary Pushpargha Chattopadhyay, are committed to operationalising these plans immediately.
The resulting development strategy centres on infrastructure growth, robust governance, and operational efficiency, aiming for sustainable progress on and off the pitch.
During the retreat, FIFA representatives and GFF leaders held constructive meetings with key government and football stakeholders. The Federation described these engagements as “positive and constructive,” ensuring the new roadmap is grounded in the wider community’s needs and aligned with international best practices.
The successful conclusion reaffirms the GFF’s commitment to advancing football in Guyana through transparency and collaboration, backed by strong support from the world governing body.
