GFF applaud History making ‘Golden Jaguars’

Nov 20, 2011 Sports

 

Government and Corporate Guyana also commended

The Executive and members of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has extended congratulations to the players and Technical staff of Guyana’s flagship team, the ‘Golden Jaguars’ for their historic qualification to the Third-Round of the FIFA World Cup Brazil 2014 Qualifying competition.
The performance of this team has seen Guyana reach heights and depths which were only conceived before but now has become reality. The biggest win of the second-round without a doubt was Guyana’s 2-1 triumph at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence against Trinidad and Tobago’s Soca Warriors, a country which has been getting the better of Guyana for many years.
But this time around, that dominance was not to be. Urged on by a massive yellow clad crowd, the Jaguars roared on to an historic win which ended the hopes and aspirations of the Soca Warriors.
President (ag) of the Guyana Football Federation Franklin Wilson on behalf of the Members of the Federation applauded the efforts of Captain Christopher Nurse and all the players especially those from the Professional ranks in England who have really enhanced the overall attitude of the team.
The Technical Staff led by Jamaal Shabazz also came in for high praise for the dedication and leadership they have given to the team even in challenging times.
The President and Government of Guyana and the many business entities that have contributed were also praised by the GFF for playing an integral role in the success of this team so far.
Wilson is urging all to step up their support since coming up against the likes of Mexico, Costa Rica and El Salvador in the Third-Stage will be no easy task. He noted that pristine preparation of the team will be vital to advancing further which is by no means impossible.
Proper planning and team work are traits that will see us through successfully, Wilson noted.
Guyana has been drawn in Group B along with Mexico, Costa Rica and El Salvador. The Golden Jaguars will travel to Mexico for their first game on June 8 and four days later will host Costa Rica at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence.
On September 7, Guyana will travel to face El Salvador and four days later, September 11, the Guyanese will entertain the El Salvadorians at Providence.
