Golden Jaguars reveal 22-man squad for today’s Bahamas clash

Guyana’s senior men’s national team Head Coach Jamaal Shabazz is counting on his selected 22-member squad to deliver a stellar performance against the Bahamas today, Saturday, and clinch the crucial point needed for promotion to League A of the CONCACAF Nations League.
Shabazz is confident in the ability of the chosen squad, featuring two goalkeepers, ten defenders, five midfielders, and five forwards. Notably, among them is Omari Glasgow, Guyana’s top goal-scorer and the second-highest scorer in League B, with six goals.
The head coach anticipates domination over Bahamas on November 18 at the Félix Sánchez Olympic Stadium in the Dominican Republic.

“The players are well aware that this is a big moment for Guyana, and what a win can do for our lives and our country. So, our attitude is to give total effort,” Shabazz said.
Adding, “We go into the game with the greatest respect for our opponent, but with a deep desire to get a positive result. Injury to Reiss Greenidge, Jeremy Garrett and Elliot Bonds means that we have had to find replacements not just in the squad, but in the starting team, since they are usually first-eleven players. So, these two matches will test the depth of the squad, and we are happy to have a newcomer in Canadian-based Osaze DeRosario.”
The following players have been selected for this pivotal match.
Goalkeepers: Quillan Roberts and Akel Clarke
Defenders: Curtez Kellman, Jalen Jones, Marcus Wilson, Colin Nelson, Leo Lovell, Raushan Ritch, Liam Gordon, Jonathan Grant, Amos Ramsay and Marcus Simmons.
Midfielders: Daniel Wilson, Stephen Duke-McKenna, Nathan Moriah-Welch, Darron Niles and Ryan Hackett.
Forwards: Omari Glasgow, Kadel Daniels, Osaze DeRosario, Deon Moore and Kelsey Benjamin.
The team boasts a favourable record against Bahamas this season, having triumphed over them 3-2 on September 12. The Golden Jaguars presently lead the standings in League B, Group D of the 2023/2024 CONCACAF Nations League Group Stage, with four points earned from four successive victories.
Their winning streak includes triumphs over Antigua and Puerto Rico. Their sole aim for Saturday’s game is clear: secure one point for the promotion to League A, attainable through either a win or a draw.
Guyana Football Federation (GFF) President Wayne Forde has said he is confident the squad can deliver a historic victory on Saturday.
“The Golden Jaguars, holding a substantial lead in the standings, are steadfast in their quest for victory to advance to League A. Their commitment is evident in their dedication in training. GFF and the entire football fraternity stand fully behind the Golden Jaguars on this history journey,” the GFF top executive shared.
Under Forde’s administration, the GFF has made substantial investments in the national team programme, with an aim to bolster Guyana’s position on both regional and international stages.
Kickoff is set for 18:00hrs this evening.
