Shabazz critical of playing surface

While acknowledging the importance of the win over The Bahamas to preserve their perfect record in the 2023–2024 CONCACAF Nations League, Golden Jaguars head coach Jamal Shabazz lambasted the quality of the National Track and Field Centre playing surface, which serves as the home venue for Guyana’s campaign.

These sentiments were echoed following the conclusion of Guyana’s second match in League B of the CONCACAF Nations League on Tuesday. The Golden Jaguars defeated The Bahamas 3-2 in their first home match of the competition to maintain their perfect record and keep pace with group leader Puerto Rico, who sit atop the standings via a superior goal difference. The Guyanese defeated Antigua and Barbuda 5-1 in their first outing.
