The Golden Jaguars maintained their perfect record in League B of the 2023–24 CONCACAF Nations League, laboring to a 3-2 victory over the Bahamas yesterday, with head coach Jamal Shabazz citing the poor state of the National Track and Field Center pitch as the reason for the team’s performance.
Speaking at the conclusion of the encounter to media operatives, Shabazz stated that while he is happy for the win, he would have preferred to play overseas and give up Guyana’s home game so the match could be staged on an ideal surface. According to Shabazz, the surface was not conducive to playing football and clearly affected the way the team wanted to play, noting that he dreams of the day when Guyana will have a quality surface.
