In giving the update, the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) did not explain why the game would not be played on Guyanese shores.
The Gold Cup Qualification against Guatemala will be played in a 2-match home and away series, which would see Guyana coming up against Guatemala on Tuesday, February 25, at the Estadio Cementos Progreso in Guatemala City for the return match.
Guyana’s Golden Jaguars are back to hosting their home games in Barbados
The Golden Jaguars last played a match against Barbados on Tuesday, November 19th 2024, when Guyana thumped their visitors 5-3.
The Golden Jaguars were just coming off a rocky period, wherein all of their home games were being played in Barbados in 2024, owing to the state of the ground at the National Track and Field Center (NTFC) at Leonora, West Coast Demerara; which saw the GFF incurring a fine in 2023 after Guyana took on the Bahamas on the dishevelled surface.
After the venue was closed for repairs, the Golden Jaguars returned to their home venue during the September-November International window for the CONCACAF Nations League 2024/ 2025.
