Guyana Mayors Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Guyana Mayors Cup is a major knockout regional football tournament in Guyana. It was created in 1999.

It is an annual inter-ward/village Football Championship[1] only open to invited teams. It takes place at the Georgetown Football Club ground,[2] proposed alternate locations include Bourda, Mahaicony Community Centre, Victoria Community Centre and the Den Amstel Community Centre grounds.[3] It is coordinated by former national football coach Lennox Arthur.[3]

It was originally between teams in Georgetown, but was expanded to invite teams throughout the country.[4] The number of teams increased from 20 to 24 in 2016[5]

The tournament planned for October 2020 was rescheduled due to COVID-19.[1] It has also been rescheduled in previous years to avoid conflicting with other major regional tournaments such as the Kashif & Shanghai Knockout Tournament.[6]
