– 13 clubs to battle for winners’ $800,000 prize
Kaieteur News – Some thirteen clubs affiliated to the Upper Demerara Football Association (UDFA) will battle from Sunday May 15, when the 2022 UDFA/GFF League starts at the Mackenzie Sports Club ground.
This disclosure was made by President of the UDFA Wainwright Bethune when a briefing took place at the boardroom of the Linden Town Council last Saturday.
Bethune acknowledged that this return of competitive football in the Upper Demerara area was made possible by funding provided by the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) for the operational costs, while the association will be seeking corporate sponsors to ensure the prize monies for the winners which is tagged at $800,000 with second placed team receiving $400,000, third $200,000 and fourth $100,000 are secured.
He called for the support of the clubs and fans and welcomed Sub Region Two Club Kwakwani Strikers back into the competitive fold as Elite club Milerock FC also was named as one of the clubs which will vie for supremacy. Bethune said, “With the support of the clubs we know that this league will be a success.”
This tournament is expected to run simultaneously with other GFF affiliate associations as it fits into the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Member Football Associations Programme (MFAP) scheme of play, which takes responsibilities for all the operational costs of these tournaments.
The competition will be among Milerock , Kwakwani Strikers, Hi Stars, Coomacka United, Botafago, Blueberry Hill United, Amelia’s Ward Panthers, Winners Connection, Topp XX, Eagles United, Net Rockers, Capital FC and Silver Shattas who received kits inclusive of bibs, cones and balls at the end of the briefing, compliments of the GFF.
