WENDY’S Guyana has joined the Vurlon Mills Football Academy (VMFA) as a partner for its annual Year-End Football Festival, an event that brings together more than 100 young players for a day of competition and skills development.

Now in its third year, the festival features athletes between the ages of 4 and 15 across several age groups, from U-6 to U-14.

The one-day event, scheduled for December 20, 2025, is intended to give young footballers an opportunity to improve their abilities, build confidence and develop teamwork.

VMFA founder Vurlon Mills said the programme continues to show positive results among its participants.

He noted that private-sector involvement is an important part of sustaining the initiative, adding that the academy welcomes the new partnership.

Wendy’s Director, Iman Cummings, said the company’s support reflects its interest in contributing to youth-focused activities and community development.

The festival is expected to attract families, supporters, and young athletes for the final major event on the academy’s annual calendar.
