Sports. The FIFA World Cup trophy touched down in Guyana this morning for its 27th stop around the globe. The trophy by Special aircraft was accompanied by FIFA and Coca cola Executives as well as FIFA Brand Ambassador and Former Trinidad and Premier league player Dwight Yorke, Yorke said he was overwhelmed at the supports at each stop the trophy makes.Guyana football President Christopher Mathias said the whole idea of bringing the trophy around to some 89 countries is FIFAs way of trying to touch the lives of football lovers around the world.Guyanas Minister of Sport was also at the CJIA to receive the trophy and he said that the event will capture the imagination of the youths here and build their passion for the sport. He also commended the Federation and Banks DIH for their contribution to this passion. Speaking on behalf of Banks DIH Marketing Director George Mc Donald said that it was a privilege to host the trophy and show it off to those gathered. The viewing of the trophy continues this evening at a GALA event at Thirst Park. And the Kashief and Shanghai year end tournament has been relegated to a schoolboys tournament which begins on the 8th December. The organization has been giving the cold shoulder by the GFF to host its usual tournament at the end of the year. The Kashif and Shanghai organization will bypass the GFF by holding its schools tournament. The school boys tournament will be launched tomorrow. The organization has complained of unfair treatment at the hands of the GFF. They even traveled to the Cayman Island to seek an audience with Concacaf President Jeffrey Webb to have him pronounce on the matter but that has failed to change the situation.
