Sixth season of Elite League to commence in February

“While you might be the champion team in Guyana, if you don’t have a women’s arm, you don’t have youth division, you don’t have playing facilities of an international standard, that will peg you back from advancing to play in the CONCACAF Shield Cup,” Peters outlined.

The GFF is working with the clubs to reach those requirements, and Peters noted, “In Guyana’s context, we have to strive really hard to get the teams on par with what is happening in the region.”

Following the Elite League Promotional play-off final on January 6, the GFF will award a preparation grant of G$1M to the club or clubs promoted to the Elite League.

The winning club will be promoted to season six of the Elite League, while the runner-up side will also be given a second chance to play in the League when they oppose Victoria Kings, the bottom-placed team from season five.
