GUYANA will know their oppositions for the preliminary rounds of the CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying Championship today, when the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) announces the Schedule for the championships which will be held from July 17 to 21.

While Guyana Football Federation (GFF) is yet to make public its plans for the Olympic Qualifiers, Guyana will be joined by Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, St Lucia, St Kitts and Nevis, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago and U.S. Virgin Islands in the 16-team tournament.

After round-robin play, the group winners will advance to a final play-in match (1A v 1D and 1B v 1C). The winner in each play-in match will qualify for the CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying Championship.

In Central America, qualifying will be held in three individual home-and-away series, with the three series winners advancing to the CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifying Championship.

The matchups – 1 v 6, 2 v 5 and 3 v 4 – will be determined via the FIFA World Ranking of March 31, 2019. The matches will take place the first 3 weeks of July.
The six participating teams in Central America are (in order by ranking): Costa Rica, Honduras, El Salvador, Panama, Nicaragua and Guatemala.

The format, host country and dates for the CONCACAF Men’s Olympic Qualifiers will be announced at a later date. Mexico, Canada and the United States are set to participate as the North American representatives.
