… will play Soca Warriors on November 14

PRESIDENT of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Wayne Forde yesterday confirmed that the country’s National Football Team, the Golden Jaguars, will travel to the Asian continent for a clash against Indonesia on November 25.
It will be the first meeting between the two countries who are both ranked at 165 by FIFA and according to Technical Director of the GFF, Ian Greenwood, “This will be the first time we’ve played outside of the Confederation or played in Asia. It will be a fantastic opportunity for our players to experience a different type of play and a different type of opposition.”

“The GFF Technical Department has been pushing our players to have adaptable skills and to function effectively in any environment, as we are looking to build in 2018 which will be a competitive year,” Greenwood added.
Prior to their journey to Indonesia, Guyana will face Caribbean football powerhouse Trinidad and Tobago on November 14 at the Ato Boldon Stadium.
Guyana’s head coach Wayne Dover pointed out that “these games are very important as they will allow for assessment of our team’s calibre and serve as platforms to expose our local talent.”

Dover added, “Should we get a positive result it will augur well for sponsorship, attract more local players to the fraternity and improve our Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) ranking. All this will serve to create a firm national team that can truly reflect a strong Guyana National Team.”
