Following disastrous campaigns in the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers and the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup Preliminary Round, the Golden Jaguars, Guyana’s senior men’s football team, has dropped to a dismal ranking of 173rd out of 210 affiliated nations.
This was revealed by the world governing body yesterday following the official publication of the August rankings. The Guyanese dropped eight positions from their previous ranking of 165th, following a record of three consecutive losses spread between the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers and Gold Cup Preliminaries.
Guyana lost to St Kitts and Nevis (3-0) and Puerto Rico (2-0) during World Cup Qualification. In the regional tournament, the Golden Jaguars suffered an embarrassing defeat to Guatemala (4-0) in the first round. Overall, the team has suffered four losses in their last five fixtures.
