Director of Sport Steve Ninvalle has confirmed that President Dr. Irfaan Ali has committed to remunerating the Golden Jaguars US$300,000 for qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup as well as US$5000 for each victory in the CONCACAF Nations League.

This was disclosed in a press release from the National Sports Commission (NSC). According to the correspondence, the gesture that was conveyed to the players at the conclusion of the Suriname and Guyana encounter at the National Track and Field Centre in Leonora on September 5th was done as a means to incentivise the performance of the team.

Guyana was unable to benefit from the Nations League aspect of the gesture as they drew 2-2 with Martinique four days after the announcement of the gesture. Guyana lost to Suriname 1-3 in their opening match.
