Kaieteur Sports – Former Chelsea and French star Florent Malouda rolled back the years on Wednesday evening, producing a vintage display with a brace as the French Guiana Veterans edged the GFF President’s XI 3-2 in an entertaining exhibition match at the National Training Centre (NTC), Providence.

The special encounter, staged as part of Malouda’s visit to Guyana, drew football enthusiasts eager to witness one of the game’s most decorated former players share the field with several of Guyana’s football greats in a celebration of the sport.

From the opening whistle, the atmosphere reflected the occasion as the NTC was transformed into a football showpiece. Supporters were treated to a reunion of some of the country’s most recognisable former players, while Guyana Football Federation (GFF) President Wayne Forde led his President’s XI against a French Guiana Veterans outfit spearheaded by the French Winger, Malouda.
