Guyana’s U-17 teams impress at CONCACAF Qualifiers

The Guyana Football Federation has extended its highest commendation to the players and technical staff of Guyana’s Under- 17 Men’s and Women’s National Teams for their exemplary representation of the nation during the CONCACAF U-17 World Cup Qualifiers 2026.
The GFF shared in a statement via social media, “Throughout the qualifying campaign, both teams served as true ambassadors of Guyana, competing with discipline, character, and pride while upholding the values of the Golden Arrowhead on the international stage.

The Guyana U-17 Women (Junior Lady Jags) delivered strong and competitive performances within Group D, securing valuable results against regional opponents and recording a dominant victory over Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, while demonstrating resilience against established teams such as Jamaica and Honduras.
The Guyana U-17 Men (Junior Golden Jaguars) opened their campaign with a disciplined victory over Bermuda and followed with a determined and competitive performance against host nation Honduras, reflecting growth and tactical maturity within the squad.
Both national teams concluded the campaign just one match away from historic FIFA World Cup qualification, underscoring the continued progress of Guyana’s youth development pathway and the positive impact of sustained investment in grassroots and high-performance football.

The Guyana Football Federation also extends sincere appreciation to our colleagues of the International Support Group (ISG) for their support and dedication, which contributed meaningfully to the preparation and overall performance of both national teams throughout the qualification process.
The Federation further thanks the parents and guardians for their unwavering support and commitment to the development of these young athletes, and the fans and supporters whose prayers, encouragement, and belief provided vital motivation throughout the journey.
The Guyana Football Federation remains committed to building on this foundation as we continue to strengthen youth football and elevate Guyana’s presence on the regional and international stage.”
