GFF Inc. President Wayne Forde makes official visit to newly elected Fruta Conquerors FC Leadership

Forde, who previously served as President of Fruta Conquerors, engaged with Massiah, Vice President Mark DeFreitas, Secretary Odessa Abrams, Coach Samson Benaiah Gilbert, and Executive Member Junior Ramkelawan in discussions on the club’s future, including its push for Concacaf Club Licensing, modernized operations, and player development.
“I have a deep connection to this club, and it’s exciting to see bold new leadership driving it forward,” Forde said. “Fruta Conquerors is more than just a football club; it is a football institution embedded in the heart of Georgetown, pulling from communities where people may not have the most money, but they have the talent, passion, and determination to succeed. The club has played a critical role in molding young men and women into leaders, providing a structured environment for growth, discipline, and opportunity. The success stories of players like Ryan Hackett, who rose through the club’s ranks to become one of Guyana’s most notable footballers, are a testament to the transformative power of football. Football clubs are the bedrock of a federation and serve as the primary drivers of fundamental player development.”
Massiah outlined his vision to transform Fruta Conquerors, focusing on upgrading facilities, strengthening youth programmes, and professionalizing club operations. “We are laying the foundation for a world-class football institution that will set new standards in Guyana,” he stated.
The visit reinforced Fruta Conquerors’ status as a pillar of Guyanese football development and the GFF’s commitment to supporting clubs that drive player growth, innovation, and excellence.
