Guyana’s Golden Jaguars were back in training today in preparation for 2022/2023 Concacaf Nations League on Sunday, at the Guyana Football Federation National Training Centre, Providence.
The squad has to beat Montserrat and Bermuda in March 2023 and hope Haiti with 10 points stumbles in their upcoming matches in order to qualify.
The Golden Jaguars were unable to advance out of the first round of qualifying and again tasted heartbreak by elimination in the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup prelims the following June.

The following two matches, back-to-back encounters with Haiti, threw a wrench into Guyana’s aspirations to ascend. Haiti won both encounters to take pole position for promotion and the direct qualification to the 2023 Gold Cup.
Guyana can still get promoted by winning its remaining two matches, but they’ll need Haiti to stumbles. What can be secured with the second-place spot is a spot in the Gold Cup Preliminary Round, as the country is hopeful to return after making its first appearance in the 2019 edition.
