Guyana’s senior men’s national football team, the Golden Jaguars, have announced their squad for the upcoming Gold Cup preliminaries.
The squad was posted on Sunday evening on the Guyana Football Federation’s official page. The team is currently in Barbados.
The ‘home leg’ on March 21 will now be played at the Barbados Football Association (BFA) Technical Centre, with kick-off scheduled for 21:00h.
GFF cited logistical and playing condition evaluations for the move.
“After careful consultations, it was determined that relocating the match to Barbados was the best course of action,” stated GFF President Forde, while vowing future home games will be on Guyanese soil.
The Golden Jaguars face a daunting task against Guatemala, ranked ninth in CONCACAF and a Gold Cup mainstay. Guyana, ranked 19th, will need to overcome a history of recent defeats against their opponents.
After the Barbados clash, the teams will meet again in Guatemala on March 25.
The aggregate winner advances to the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup group stage.
Interim head coach Wayne Dover will lead the charge, and Marco Bonofiglio and Sam Cox will join as assistant coaches.
Golden Jaguars Squad:
Goalkeepers: Quilan Roberts, Kai McKenzie-Lyle, Akel Clarke
Defenders: Liam Gordon, Romaine Brackenridge, Leo Lovell, Jalen Jones, Colin Nelson, Reiss Greenidge, Jeremy Garrett, Curtez Kellman
Midfielders: Elliot Bonds, Nathan Moriah-Welch, Maliq Cadogan, Stephen Duke-McKenna, Nathan Ferguson, Daniel Wilson
