History was created in Kabakaburi, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam), on Friday as the community hosted its first-ever organised football competition during the ongoing Blue Water Shipping Girls U15 National Championship.
The landmark occasion saw Kabakaburi Secondary face Charity Secondary in a preliminary-round encounter, marking a significant milestone for football development within the indigenous community.
Charity Secondary secured a 2–0 victory, with a goal coming from Razeena Wilson alongside an own goal conceded by Kabakaburi Secondary. Despite the result, the match represented a proud and memorable moment for the players and the Kabakaburi community, which turned out in large numbers to support its youth competing on home soil for the first time in an organised tournament.
Now in its third year, the Blue Water Shipping Girls U15 National Championship continues to play a vital role in the growth of women’s football across Guyana, providing young student-athletes with opportunities to compete in a safe, inclusive, and structured environment.
The 2026 edition of the tournament is expanding to feature more than 70 schools nationwide. Participating teams represent Moruca, Essequibo Coast, West Demerara, Georgetown, East Coast Demerara, East Bank Demerara, West Berbice, East Berbice, Bartica, Mahdia, Rupununi, and Linden, reflecting the Guyana Football Federation’s commitment to grassroots football development.
Tournament action will continue over the coming weeks, with matches scheduled to be played in Regions Three, Five, Seven, and Georgetown. (Modified GFF Press Release)
