THE Guyana Football Federation (GFF) wishes to announce that the CONCACAF Nations League final qualifier match for Guyana against Belize will be held at the National Track and Field Centre, Leonora on Saturday March 23 from 18:30hrs.

The match will see Guyana play one of the most critical matches in their football history, which can give the country a chance to qualify for the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

In an invited comment, GFF’s Competitions Director, Ian Alves, said efforts were made to utilise the National Stadium, Providence. However “these did not find the kind of favour that the Federation was hoping for and, as a result, we will host at the National Track and Field Centre, Leonora.

Notwithstanding, we are still encouraging the Guyanese public to come to Leonora in support of the Golden Jaguars. Special transportation arrangements will be put in place, the details of which will be shared with the media in the coming days.”

Meanwhile, the Senior Men’s National Team, Golden Jaguars, continued their preparation for the match with a training fixture against a select team from the Upper Demerara Football Association. According to Assistant coach Charles Pollard, it was another successful outing for the team.

That training match was held on Monday, February 25 at the GFF National Training Centre, Providence. The third training match is scheduled against the West Demerara Football Federation at a date to be announced.
