Belize victory would put Guyana on football map

Members of the Golden Jaguars local contingent being put through their paces at the National Training Centre, Providence under the watchful eye of Head-Coach Michael Johnson ahead of their CONCACAF Nations League clash with Belize next month.

Head coach of the Golden Jaguars (Guyana’s national senior football team) Michael Johnson yesterday stopped just short of guaranteeing a win against Belize next month but stressed yesterday the importance of the upcoming fixture.

According to Johnson, the match, scheduled for March 23 at the Providence National Stadium, comes at a significant juncture in the nation’s footballing aspirations.

“We all know what is at stake here. We all know the opportunities it would give to the players, we all know it would put Guyana on the footballing map, the international stage so we understand the nature of the game and we will be trying 100% to make sure we deliver on it,” he told media operatives during a training session at the National Training Centre, Providence for the local Golden Jaguars contingent.
