Golden Jaguars vs Ethiopia friendly rescheduled to August 2

The much-anticipated historic international ‘friendly’ between the Golden Jaguars and Ethiopia will now be held on August 2nd at the Segra Field in Leesburg, Virginia, USA.
Guyana Football Federation (GFF) President Wayne Forde has agreed to the change of date and venue requested by the Ethiopian Football Federation in order to give the African footballing body more time to secure relevant clearances.
This match, the first such between Guyana and an Africa team since the GFF was founded 121 years ago, had been scheduled to take place on Saturday, July 8th at the Subaru Park in Philadelphia from 7:30pm.

“We are expecting our first outing against an African Nation to be very competitive, as we continue to cultivate more sporting relationships within the Confederation of African Football.” President Forde explained.
FIFA world rankings have placed Guyana’s senior men’s team at 169, and Ethiopia, the one-time Africa Cup of Nations champions, at 143 as at June 2023. Teams are ranked using a points system on international form based on their current performances.
The August clash is expected to be a memorable experience for both teams, with the Golden Jaguars using this match as a warm-up for the Concacaf Nations League which kicks off in September. This will also be Ethiopia’s first time playing in the United States.
The GFF is again appealing to fans and corporate Guyana to support this historic international friendly, as the GFF seeks to create more high-quality playing opportunities and exposure for the Golden Jaguars.
