Former Guyana Football Federation (GFF) President Franklin Wilson has congratulated the Golden Jaguars for the historic feat of qualifying for League A in the CONCACAF Nations League.
Wilson, who has declared his candidature for the December 9th GFF elections, stated that he is heartened by the performance of the team and offered his continued support for the team should he accede to the highest office of the sport in the land. He was also high in praise for the efforts of Head Coach Jamaal Shabazz and his staff, adding similar sentiments of support to those offered to the team.
The Golden Jaguars sealed their maiden appearance in League A following a 6-0 thrashing of Antigua and Barbuda, which secured the top spot in Group D of League B with 15 points following a perfect 5-0 record.
He explained, “I want to say that my team and I are extremely grateful for the yeoman service Shabazz has extended to the team, adding that his technical service extends beyond the team. Coach Shabazz has time and again demonstrated his love and affection for this country, and I personally feel it is time that he be recognised beyond his service to Guyana’s football.”
