The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has confirmed that the home game of the senior men’s national football team, the Golden Jaguars, will be played next week as part of the kick-off of the CONCACAF Nations League (CNL) 2023/2024.
The confirmation came via a missive on the Federation’s social media platforms on Tuesday.
The Golden Jaguars’ meeting with the Bahamas is set for next Tuesday, September 12th, at the National Track and Field Center (NTFC) at Leonora, West Coast Demerara (WCD), and comes 3 days after the national team’s opening CNL game against Antigua and Barbuda this Saturday (September 9th) in the opponents’ backyard.
The Golden Jaguars will be in action at home next week
The announcement about Guyana’s home game is a welcome one, considering the Golden Jags’ inability to host such earlier this year.
Back in March, the Golden Jaguars had to play their CNL home game in Barbados, owing to what was described as a “thorough review of the facilities at the National Track and Field Center” by CONCACAF. That game was instead played at the Wildey Turf Stadium in Wildey, Barbados, and ended with the Golden Jaguars playing to a stalemate against Montserrat.
Next Tuesday’s home game is currently set to kick off at 18:00hrs local time.
