THE Golden Jaguars have announced their squad for the upcoming Concacaf Gold Cup preliminary-round matches against Guatemala.
Wayne Dover will continue as interim head coach, with Marco Bonofiglio and Sam Cox joining the coaching staff.
The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has also confirmed that the search for a permanent head coach is ongoing. An announcement is expected later this month.
The Golden Jaguars will face a significant challenge against Guatemala, which is ranked ninth in Concacaf and has a consistent record in the Gold Cup.
Guyana, currently ranked 19th, will need to overcome a history of recent defeats against their opponents.
Guatemala’s strong footballing pedigree and higher Concacaf ranking present a tough test for the Golden Jaguars, aiming to reverse their recent fortunes in head-to-head encounters.
The GFF had confirmed that this leg of the tie, scheduled for March 21, will now be played at the Barbados Football Association (BFA) Technical Centre from 21:00hrs.
The GFF cited logistical and playing-condition assessments as the reason for the relocation.
Following the match in Barbados, the teams will meet again in Guatemala on March 25.
The aggregate winner will advance to the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup group stage.
