B2S Group Facilitates the GFF and Blue Water Shipping Partnership: Building a Legacy in Guyanese Football Infrastructure
The groundbreaking partnership between the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) and Blue Water Shipping represents a transformative moment for football and community development in Guyana. At B2S Group, we are proud to have brokered this strategic alliance, providing the legal and commercial expertise to bring the visionary project of the Blue Water Shipping Stadium to fruition. This partnership embodies our commitment to creating value where sports and business intersect.
A Visionary Landmark for Georgetown The Blue Water Shipping Stadium is set to become an iconic landmark in Georgetown, reflecting architectural excellence and serving as a symbol of Guyana’s growing stature in international football.
Designed to be a multi-purpose venue, the stadium will cater not only to the needs of Guyana’s national football teams but also to the broader community. It will seamlessly blend sports, education, and entertainment, ensuring accessibility for people from all walks of life. The facility’s innovative design will include exterior terraces and stands with panoramic views of Georgetown. An open design that prioritizes diverse viewing experiences and good sight lines for all spectators. High-tech and sustainable materials to ensure a modern and environmentally friendly structure. Dedicated community spaces for year-round use, including educational opportunities, youth sports, and non-profit events.
Strengthening Community Through Partnership This partnership, which began with discussions in September 2022 during GFF President Wayne Forde’s visit to Blue Water’s 50-year Jubilee celebrations in Denmark, exemplifies the transformative role corporate collaboration can play in the sporting world. The stadium’s development will not only inspire thousands of boys and girls but also contribute to the transformation of the Wortmanville community and the wider Georgetown area. Thomas Bek, COO of Energy, Ports & Projects at Blue Water, emphasized, “At Blue Water, we are committed to being part of the communities where we operate. It is with great honor and respect that we enter into this partnership with GFF as part of the new stadium in Georgetown. We look forward to great football matches and events that can bring pleasure and excitement to everyone in Guyana.”
Building a Legacy with Naming Rights As part of the partnership, Blue Water has secured exclusive naming rights for the stadium for an initial period of five years. This collaboration further strengthens Blue Water’s longstanding support for football in Guyana, building on their sponsorship of the U15 Girls League. By investing in this ambitious project, Blue Water is making a lasting contribution to the development of football infrastructure and community engagement in the region. A Testament to the Power of Collaboration The Blue Water Shipping Stadium project is a testament to the power of strategic alliances. As GFF President Wayne Forde noted, “This facility, when completed, will not only inspire thousands of boys and girls in the coming years, but it will also transform the Wortmanville community. I am truly humbled and grateful for the opportunity to work so closely on this project with our friends at Blue Water.”
At B2S Group, we take immense pride in facilitating partnerships that leave a lasting impact. The Blue Water Shipping Stadium is more than a venue; it is a beacon of hope, unity, and progress for Guyana. We look forward to witnessing the stadium’s role in shaping the future of football and community life in the region.
