Forde urging Guyana to support Lady Jags’ WC journey

Guyana Football Federation (GFF) President Wayne Forde, like many other football enthusiasts around the country, is quite elated at the prospect of the Lady Jags embarking on their World Cup 2023 journey this Wednesday.

Wednesday’s match-up against Dominica will mark the first of four home and away group matches that the Lady Jags will play, in hopes of qualifying for the CONCACAF Women’s Championships, one step closer to WC 2023.

“Let me first use the opportunity to wish our senior national team – women, the Lady Jags, who started their arrival last evening and will continue into the day, success in their opening game for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifier,” Forde said proudly at a press briefing regarding another female tournament on Saturday last.
After being quizzed about not only the preparedness of the Lady Jags but also the GFF in hosting an international encounter on local shores, Forde replied in the assertive, noting that everything has been going well.
The GFF boss shared, “The arrangements have been going very well. As you know, it’s very difficult to organise any event in a COVID environment, but our team has been doing this and I think we’re getting better and better each day… the arrangements are going very well.”
“So, we’re expecting a very good game and of course, we’re looking forward to very positive results,” he added.
Paired with his update on the Guyanese senior women’s national team, that have now fully arrived and are in training, was a plea by Forde for Guyanese to come out and support their Lady Jags.
“I want to encourage all of Guyana to come out to the Leonora Track and Field on the 16th and give our girls that extra boost that they need to get across the line,” the GFF President urged.
