Kool Kidz festival attracts over 70 young footballers on return

The Kool Kidz Summer Festival made a triumphant return to Guyana on August 3, drawing a crowd of over 70 young football enthusiasts.

The event, a joint initiative by the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) and Guyana Beverages Inc. (GBI), is aimed at developing youth talent in the country.

The festival, which was held at the National Training Centre in Providence, saw eight teams compete in a series of matches. The teams included Fruta Conquerors FC, Ralph Green East Bank FC, Berbice FC, Keystart FC, Melanie FC, Beacon FC, Pouderoyen FC and Paradise Invaders FC.

GFF President Wayne Forde expressed satisfaction with the turnout and emphasized the importance of increasing female participation in future events.

The programme is divided into two phases: skills training and a mini-tournament. The goal is to provide young players with a comprehensive football experience that focuses on both technical development and competitive play
