Guyana’s senior men’s national team; the Golden Jaguars, will take part in two training camps in Jamaica and the United States ahead of the Concacaf Gold Cup Prelims in June.

Head Coach Jamaal Shabazz and the local squad are set to depart Guyana tomorrow for Jamaica where they will join the overseas-based players for an intensive training camp until June 5.

The team will then leave the Caribbean nation for a second camp in Miami which concludes on June 15.
The Golden Jaguars will play their first match against Grenada on Saturday, June 17 at the DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The 2023 Gold Cup Prelims are being held between June 16 – 20, and this is Guyana’s second appearance in the regional competition.

In an interview at a recent KFC Elite League match, Head Coach Shabazz acknowledged that Grenada is a formidable team, but quickly added that he is making adjustments in order to strengthen his side for the much-anticipated match.

“We are very aware that Grenada is a different challenge. This is a tier one team that was playing the big dogs recently, they have a lot of players coming out of England. We’re trying to bring in one or two players to strengthen the squad, yet keep the chemistry and the camaraderie and the discipline that we had in the last quarter so yes we’re constantly looking to tweet things to improve.”
The Golden Jaguars qualified for the Concacaf Gold Cup Prelims following a second-place finish in Group C of League B in the 2022–23 Concacaf Nations League.
