The Golden Jaguars will commence their historic campaign in the inaugural FIFA Series today when they lock horns with Cabo Verde at the Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, at 15:00hrs.
It will be the first ever meeting of the nations, as Guyana is set for a two-match campaign in the event. They will also face off against Cambodia on March 26th at the same venue.
Guyana’s team comprises: goalkeepers: Quillan Roberts, Akel Clarke, and Jamaine Cumberbatch; defenders: Jalen Jones, Quincy Adams, Colin Nelson, Curtez Kellman, Jeremy Garrett, Kevin Layne, Amos Ramsey, Liam Gordon, Marcus Simmons, Leo Lovell, and Rashuan Ritch; midfielders: Darron Niles, Daniel Wilson, Ryan Hackett, Elliot Bonds, Nathan Ferguson, and Kadel Daniel; and forwards: Ryan Khedoo, Omari Glasgow, Deon Moore, and Stephen Duke-McKenna.
The novel initiative, which was approved by the FIFA Council in 2023, will witness matches being staged within the six confederations during each even-numbered year.
The objective of the programme is to afford more international matches and interactions between confederations, which will aid in the overall development of the sport.
The pilot edition of the programme features 20 member associations playing in four locations across three continents. The other three hosts are Algeria, Azerbaijan, and Sri Lanka.
