GUYANA’S crucial Concacaf Gold Cup qualifier against Guatemala has been relocated to the Barbados Football Association (BFA) Technical Centre.
The match will kick off at 9:00 PM local time on March 21, 2025.

The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) confirmed the change after discussions with Concacaf, citing logistical challenges and playing conditions.
GFF President, Wayne Forde, stated that the move was in line with competition regulations.  He added that the GFF is committed to ensuring future home games are played in Guyana.

The Golden Jaguars face a tough test against a strong Guatemalan side.  Guatemala, ranked ninth in Concacaf, has a rich history in the Gold Cup, having missed only six editions since 1963.
Guyana, currently ranked 19th, hopes to improve its recent form against Guatemala.  Guatemala won both nations’ recent encounters: a 3-1 victory in the Nations League and a 4-0 win in the 2021 Gold Cup prelims.

Guyana’s best Gold Cup performance came in 2019 when they reached the main draw, but they have struggled to progress beyond the preliminary stages since.

The return fixture will be played in Guatemala on March 25, and Wayne Dover will serve as interim Head Coach for the matches.
