GUYANA’S Golden Jaguars, yesterday, arrived in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, where they will take on the nation’s senior national team in a FIFA International Friendly on Saturday November 25.

The game will be played at the Patriot Chandrabhaga Stadium, a 30 000-seater facility located in Bekasi, West Java and will be a FIFA ‘A’ match.
Head coach Wayne Dover selected a predominantly local squad, which features Anthony ‘Awo’ Abrams, Dwain Jacobs and Trayon Bobb in the 19-man team.

Dover called the squad “a good blend of overseas and local-based players,” adding “most of the locally based players have played over 10 games for Guyana at the senior level while it would be valuable exposure for the likes of Jeremy Garrett, Cecil Jackman, Denzil Fordyce, Kelsey Benjamin and Curtez Kellman.”
Looking ahead to the game in Jakarta, Dover called the fixture “very interesting,” pointing to the fact that it also marks the first time Guyana will be playing a team from South East Asia.

“The coaching staff, players and administration want to ensure we get a positive result to make history, winning our first game in that side of the world. This effort by all involved will be seen as ‘one team, one dream’ to make it happen,” said Dover.
Former National captain Charles ‘Lilly’ Pollard will be Dover’s assistant, while Eon De Veira is the team’s goalkeeper coach. Manager is Rawle Adams.

Squad: Akel Clarke (GK), Andrew Durant (GK), Anthony Abrams, Christopher Bourne, Jake Newton, Jelani Smith, Jeremy Garrett, Cecil Jackman, Dwain Jacobs, Brandon Beresford, Anthony Benfield, Daniel Wilson, Trayon Bobb, Curtez Kellman, Denzil Fordyce, Kelsey Benjamin, Shaquille Agard, Devonte Small, and Daniel Jodah.
