WFA President Andrea Johnson said the six participating clubs are primed and eager to dive into Round Two.

“We are anticipating a level of intensity and competition witnessed by fans in Round One.”

“The advancement of women’s football here hinges upon the dedication of players, clubs, coaches, officials and the backing of the Guyana Football Federation, FIFA, CONCACAF and all other stakeholders, including our corporate partners and the fans.”

Johnson added: “This month spotlights women and highlights the importance of investment in girls and women for the acceleration of genuine equality across all spheres, including sports. This is another step in the right direction.”
