With the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) developing into a global threat, the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) remains uncertain if the upcoming 2021 Gold Cup Qualifiers match against Barbados will be cancelled by the regional confederation, CONCACAF.
This position was disclosed by GFF General Secretary Ian Alves. In a brief interview with Stabroek Sport, Alves said, “CONCACAF has said nothing in this regard. What I do know and what I can tell you is that FIFA has already postponed several events inclusive of their congress. I am not sure if CONCACAF will follow in the same manner.”
Guyana is slated to face-off with Barbados in a home and away series on March 26th and 31st respectively. The first match is scheduled to be staged in Barbados, while the Golden Jaguars will host the return leg five days later at the National Track and Field Centre, Leonora.
