GFF’s Pre-Season Window Extended
Georgetown: The GFF 2020/2021 Pre-Season Transfer Window has now been extended to August 23, 2020 in order to accommodate any hindrances that interested parties might have experienced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic situation.
This decision was made in consultation with its Regional Member Associations (RMA), affiliates and Elite League Clubs and endorsed by FIFA following an official request from the GFF.
According to the FIFA correspondence dated August 5, the endorsement was granted “consistent with (i) the guidelines and decisions regarding COVID-19 approved by the Bureau of the Council on 6 April 2020 and (ii) FIFA circular no. 1720.
Meanwhile, the GFF’s President, Wayne Forde, said the GFF “…is actively drawing up plans for a robust restart of football nationally and would like to give each registered club the opportunity to prepare for a competitive season. The GFF will be announcing these plans once the COVID19 Task Force and the Ministry of Public Health provide the requisite clearance for the resumption of competitive sports. In the meantime, we urge our members to continue to respect the COVID-19 guidelines.”
The original 2020/2021 Pre-season Transfer Window opened on June 1, 2020 and closed at midnight on July 31, 2020.
GFF’s General Secretary, Ian Alves, in his correspondence to the members urged the use of electronic communication for the processing of transfers: “In light of the continuing situation concerning the COVID-19 pandemic, and the public advisories as issued by the relevant
Government Agencies, and the fact that the GFF Secretariat is only opened on a need-to basis, having only essential staff on duty on any given day, RMA’s, clubs, and other interested stakeholders are encouraged to conduct their transfer transactions via the use of electronic communication.
Transfer requests can be emailed to [email protected] or [email protected], and these will be responded to as necessary.
