The Guyana Football Federation [GFF] has confirmed that the pivotal must-win clash with Belize in the CONCACAF Nations League on March 23rd, will be staged at the National Track and Field Centre, Leonora from 18:30hrs.
“Due to the significance of the match, serious efforts were made to have the use of the National Stadium, Providence. However, these did not find the kind of favour that the federation was hoping for and, as a result, we will host at the National Track and Field Centre, Leonora,” GFF Competitions Director Ian Alves stated in the release.
“Notwithstanding, we are still encouraging the Guyanese public to come to Leonora in support of the Golden Jaguars. Special transportation arrangements will be put in place, the details of which will be shared with the media in the coming days,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Golden Jaguars Local Provisional Squad continued its preparation for the clash with a practice match against an Upper Demerara Football Association [UDFA] selection. The match was staged on February 25th at the National Training Centre, Providence.
According to Assistant Coach Charles Pollard, “I’m happy with the performance of the team but there is still room for improvement. We need to continue to work and we need more repetitions that will get us better. We have the next three weeks and I’m confident the players will come up to speed by then. We were generally good tactically but we need to be consistent. Tactical discipline is a big factor in the game.”
Another match against a West Demerara Football Association selection is expected to be staged shortly.
