PRESIDENT Dr. Irfaan Ali recently treated the National U-17 Boys’ football team (Junior Jaguars) on a memorable journey to the majestic Kaieteur Falls.
The team, coaching staff, and Guyana Football Federation (GFF) members expressed gratitude for the President’s support.

The excursion was a special occasion for many players, marking their first visit to the iconic falls.  It provided a welcome break for the team as they prepared for the Concacaf U17 Men’s Qualifier Campaign, allowing them to relax and enjoy a national treasure.
President Ali shared his sentiments in a Facebook post: “It was great having our under-17 national football team immersing themselves in the beauty of the mighty Kaieteur Falls.”
The Junior Jaguars are gearing up for the CONCACAF U17 World Cup Qualifiers, scheduled for February 7-16, 2025.

President Ali recently visited the team during their training camp at the National Training Centre in Providence and commended their enthusiasm and hard work. “When I speak to you today, I’m speaking on behalf of all of Guyana, all the people of Guyana. We have tremendous confidence in this team, which makes us proud,” he said.

He also pledged the government’s commitment to investing in players and sports facilities.  The Junior Jaguars will compete in Group B against Trinidad and Tobago, the British Virgin Islands, Sint Maarten, and Costa Rica (the host nation).
They will participate in the FIFA U17 World Cup in Qatar from November 5 to 27 if they qualify.

President Ali reiterated the government’s plans to upgrade training facilities, stating, “We’re going to invest in further improving the facility, and we are also going to invest in you.”
