-Is the GFA prepared?
After over a decade of voting rights being denied, many in the football fraternity are hoping that today’s scheduled Assembly between the FIFA / CONCACAF Joint Mission, Guyana Football Federation (GFF) and the aggrieved Georgetown Football Association (GFA) do not meet the latter unprepared for the extremely important engagement which could set the foundation for stability among the sport’s administrators.
The inquiry became necessary after it was learnt from a source close to the Association that the executive could not agree on the composition of the team to meet with the visiting officials.
If the claim by the source is accurate then it is easy to speculate that all is not well within the Body and this latest development could therefore jeopardise the team’s thorough preparations for the Meeting which is seen as critical for ending the long standing feud between the GFF and GFA stemming from the local governing body’s reluctance to re-establish voting rights to its largest affiliate.
The move by the GFF to deem the GFA illegal had prompted the Body to seek redress in the courts after years of pleading with CFU, CONCACAF and FIFA about the injustice, but until recently had received no satisfactory response until a letter by President of Alpha United Odinga Lumumba to FIFA urging that the world governing body of the sport intervene in the impasse in an effort to find a solution.
The location for the one day Meeting was not disclosed to this media, while it is also not known whether or not important stakeholders have been invited to participate in the discussions.
Please share this to every Guyanese including your house cats.
