The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) is delighted to unveil the much-anticipated launch of Season Seven of the Elite League, set to commence on Sunday, March 9, 2025, at the National Training Centre, Providence.

Under the inspiring theme ‘Stronger Together,’ this season embodies a renewed commitment to unity and progress, highlighting the unwavering collaboration between clubs, players, sponsors and fans.

Together, they share a bold vision to raise the league’s standards, enhance professionalism, and drive greater competitiveness, ensuring an exciting and dynamic season ahead.

The road to Season Seven brought its own share of excitement during the qualification play-offs. Lake Mainstay FC claimed their spot in the league with a stellar performance, adding fresh energy to the competition.

Meanwhile, Ann’s Grove United fought valiantly to retain their position, ensuring their presence in another thrilling season. With these additions, the league promises an even more dynamic and competitive environment.

Season Six delivered unforgettable moments and fierce battles, with Guyana Defence Force FC emerging as champions, finishing with an impressive 50 points.

They were followed closely by Slingerz FC with 46 points, while Guyana Police Force FC secured third place with 34 points, proving their resilience and determination.

Season Seven will introduce enhanced development opportunities as each Elite League club is now required to participate in key youth and women’s competitions, including a Under-17 Girls Competition, Under-17 Boys Competition, and the Women’s Division One League.

These tournaments are mandatory under the Concacaf Club Licensing regulations, which stipulate that clubs must field both a youth boys’ and a youth girls’ team to secure a Concacaf Club License which is an essential requirement for participation in regional and international tournaments.

Additionally, the GFF will host a series of comprehensive workshops to support clubs in achieving full compliance with Concacaf Club Licensing regulations.

These workshops will cover essential areas such as governance, ensuring clubs establish transparent structures and accountability frameworks; best practices, focusing on operational excellence and strategic growth; club management, providing guidance on effective administration and leadership; and finance and bookkeeping, equipping clubs with the necessary financial skills to maintain sustainability and transparency.

Through these initiatives, the GFF aims to further professionalise the league, empowering clubs with the knowledge and tools needed to seize greater opportunities on the regional and international stage.

With an updated roster promising more matches this season, top-tier talent, and a shared commitment to growth, Season Seven of the Elite League is poised to deliver thrilling football action and unforgettable moments.

The GFF extends its best wishes to all participating clubs and encourages fans to support their teams as they compete for glory. (GFF Press Release)
