The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has confirmed that the 2021 Gold Cup Playoff Qualifiers against Barbados this month has been suspended by CONCACAF due to the spread of the novel coronavirus (NCoV-19).
This was revealed by a release from the federation. According to the release, “This move was taken as a result of the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) suspending and cancelling a number of their competitions and events for a 30-day period with effect from March 12.”
The release further disclosed, “In a correspondence to Member Associations dated March 12, CONCACAF informed that travel prohibitions in some countries have restricted the movement/access of teams and thus ‘alternative dates and options for Gold Cup Qualification’ will be discussed and communicated soonest.”
Guyana was set to face-off against Barbados in a home and away series on March 26th and 31st respectively. The first match was to be held in Barbados with the Golden Jaguars to host the return leg five days later at the National Track and Field Center, Leonora.
