The GFF shared in a statement via their social media platform, “The President of the Guyana Football Federation, Wayne Forde, Council Members and newly appointed senior men’s national team coach, Thomas Dooley, extend our warmest congratulations to our player, Osaze de Rosario, on his outstanding achievement in winning the 2025 Leagues Cup with the Seattle Sounders.
By opening the scoring in the final against Inter Miami – a team featuring some of the greatest names in world football, including Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez – Osaze demonstrated not only his exceptional ability but also the courage and determination that define a true Golden Jaguar.
This accomplishment is historic, as it marks the Sounders’ first-ever Leagues Cup title and their first trophy since the 2022 Concacaf Champions League. We are proud that one of our own has played such a decisive role in this moment of triumph.
Osaze’s rapid rise in the professional game, joining Seattle’s first team just months ago and now making an impact on the biggest stage, is a source of pride and inspiration for all of Guyana. His success underscores the talent within our national programme and the heights our players can achieve.
On behalf of the Federation and the entire football family, we salute Osaze and look forward to supporting him as he continues to shine for both club and country.”
De Rosario netted the opening goal in Sunday’s 3-0 victory at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington. The Golden Jaguars forward had also scored in the Sounders’ 2-0 semi-final win over LA Galaxy, playing a pivotal role in his team’s march to the final.
