The Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) earlier this week announced that the Guyana National Football Team was being hosted on the island for a 10-day camp at the UWI/JFF Captain Horace Burrell Centre of Excellence.
The team, currently in final preparations for the CONCACAF Gold Cup, arrived in Jamaica on May 26 and will break camp on June 5.
“We are happy to work with our regional counterparts,” said JFF President Michael Ricketts.
“We all have the same goal of improving the standard of our game and progressing on the international stage. We welcome international sporting teams like Guyana and any other group locally or internationally at our facility.
“We provide whatever is necessary to ensure that each team or group can concentrate on their main objective. We sincerely hope that Guyana will do well in the Gold Cup and they will be the first of many to be hosted at our center,” concluded Ricketts.
Guyana will play Guatemala in the first round of the CONCACAF Gold Cup Preliminary Round when it gets underway later third month, with the winner advancing to the main competition.
This summer’s CONCACAF Gold Cup Tournament will be held between June 24 and July 16 in North America (Canada and the United States).
