GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – In a significant coup for native sports activities, Guyana has been awarded the internet hosting rights for the Caribbean Basketball Confederation (CBC) Ladies’s Championship.
The event, marking its triumphant return after a six-year hiatus, is about to impress the Cliff Anderson Sports activities Corridor from November 9 to 17.
This 12 months’s championship isn’t just a homecoming for the occasion, final held in Suriname in 2018, but in addition a vital battleground for a number of the Caribbean’s seasoned and rising expertise.
Ten of the area’s prime girls’s nationwide groups will compete for coveted qualifying spots for the Ladies’s CentroBasket Event, a direct pathway to the celebrated FIBA Ladies’s AmeriCup.
The President of the Guyana Basketball Federation (GBF), Michael Singh, expressed immense satisfaction within the resolution. “FIBA displaying this confidence in us and accepting our bid exhibits that they’re taking note of the work we’ve been doing over the previous couple of years. Extra importantly, it confirms Guyana’s potential as a rustic to host worldwide sporting occasions on the highest stage.”
With the bid secured, the main focus now shifts to execution. President Singh confirmed that the GBF will instantly start collaborations with the Authorities of Guyana, by way of the Ministry of Tradition, Youth, and Sport, and the Nationwide Sports activities Fee, to make sure a flawless event.
A key precedence would be the preparation of the Cliff Anderson Sports activities Corridor to fulfill worldwide requirements. A Native Organising Committee (LOC) will even be established shortly to spearhead the occasion’s planning and operations.
The event carries deep historic significance for the host nation. Guyana itself is a former champion, having etched its identify within the file books by capturing its first Caribbean title on the 1996 Caricom Basketball Championship in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.
