Guyana’s Senior Men’s National Team, the Golden Jaguars, will travel to the Dominican Republic later this week for a two-match international friendly series, with several first-time call-ups headlining the squad selected by the Guyana Football Federation (GFF).
The matches form part of the officially sanctioned Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) Series, a developmental initiative designed to give member nations competitive opportunities outside of major tournaments. Guyana will face Dominica on March 27 and Belize on March 30 at the Estadio Cibao.
The squad features a blend of established senior players and emerging talent, with five players earning their first call-ups to the senior national team. Goalkeeper Grant Wyles, midfielder Shemar Scott, defender Walker Shabazz-Edwards, forward Reiss Parris and locally based winger Bryan Wharton have all been included for the first time at this level.
Wharton and Parris are stepping up from the youth ranks. Both players were recently involved at the U-20 level and now transition into the senior setup.
The inclusion of these newcomers comes alongside a core of experienced internationals such as Akel Clarke, Liam Gordon, Terence Vancooten, Nathan Moriah-Welsh, Elliot Bonds, Omari Glasgow, and Kelsey Benjamin, who are expected to provide stability and leadership during the series.
The CONCACAF Series serves as a key platform for teams no longer engaged in the FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers, offering structured international competition aimed at improving rankings and overall performance. For Guyana, the matches present an opportunity to test squad depth and integrate new talent.
