Guyana Eyes World-Class Regional Football Tournament with FIFA Partnership

Guyana is pursuing plans to host a major regional football tournament in 2027, following discussions between President Irfaan Ali and FIFA President Gianni Infantino aimed at expanding the country’s role in Caribbean football.

The proposed competition is intended to attract leading regional teams, international television coverage and commercial investment, while creating opportunities for local players, businesses and the wider sporting economy.

During discussions at State House on November 5, Ali said formal planning should begin before the end of this year, with the possibility of developing the tournament in Guyana for an initial three-year period before expanding it across the Caribbean.
