GUYANA’S Golden Jaguars have announced their coaching staff and a provisional squad as they prepare for crucial CONCACAF Gold Cup qualifiers against Guatemala in March.
Wayne Dover will continue as interim head coach, with Marco Bonofiglio and Sam Cox joining as assistant coaches. The provisional squad includes a mix of experience and youth, featuring a wide range of talent in all positions.

The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) confirmed the appointments as they continue their search for a permanent head coach. Over 200 applications have been received, with an announcement expected later this month.

In a significant change, the GFF announced that the home leg of the qualifiers, scheduled for March 21st, will now be played at the Barbados Football Association (BFA) Technical Centre, with a 9:00 PM kick-off.

The Golden Jaguars face a tough challenge against Guatemala, a team with a strong footballing history and a much higher CONCACAF ranking. Guatemala has been a regular presence at the Gold Cup, while Guyana, despite reaching the main draw in 2019, has struggled in recent preliminary rounds.

Recent head-to-head records favour Guatemala, adding to the Jaguars’ challenge.

Following the match in Barbados, the teams will meet again in Guatemala on March 25th. The aggregate winner will secure a place in the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup group stage.
