Seven members of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) are set to join Team Guyana in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the 6th Islamic Solidarity Games.
The GDF athletes will be led by their Head Coach, Staff Sergeant Quinse Clarke and the team include Senior Petty Officer Leslain Baird, Sergeant Akeem Stewart, Reserve Lance Corporals Kenisha Phillips, Simeon Adams, and Keliza Smith, and Reserve Private Natricia Hooper.
The athletes will be participating in track and field events at the games. The Track and Field programme is scheduled to begin on November 17, 2025, with competitions running throughout the week (the full games run from November 7-21).
The ranks met with Minister of Culture, Youth, and Sports, Honourable Charles Ramson at his office yesterday, a send off that underlines national support for the contingent as they travel to represent Guyana.
The Chief of Defence Staff, Officers and Ranks extend best wishes to the ranks and the entire Team Guyana as they make us proud on the international stage.
