Guyana to play both CFU Men’s Caribbean Cup matches overseas – GFF

Apr 19, 2016 Sports

Guyana’s Golden Jaguars will have to play their intended home game in the second round of the Caribbean Football Union Men’s Caribbean Cup against Curacao in that island. The original fixture had the match scheduled to be played here but due to lack of facilities here, the game has been shifted.
Following is a statement from the Guyana Football Federation in relation to the shift:
“The Guyana Football Federation (GFF), in collaboration with the Curacao Football Federation and the United States Virgin Islands Football Association have come to an agreement as it relates to their respective fixtures of the Second Round of the Scotia Bank Men’s Caribbean Cup Championship.
This decision was made due to the unavailability of an appropriate venue in Guyana to host the matches and was agreed to by the two other Regional Associations and the Caribbean Football Union.
The Guyana National Stadium, the original venue of the games slated for Guyana, is unavailable for use due to an international cricket engagement. The National Track and Field Facility, Leonora was considered as an option however, following a site visit by a team from the GFF, will require a significant amount of work to ensure its readiness.
The new schedule also includes a date change from the 7th to the 4th June for Guyana’s second fixture and reads as follows:
Game 1: Guyana vs Curacao, to be played in Curacao on 1st June, 2016 at Ergilio Hato.
Game 2: Guyana vs USVI, to be played in USVI on 4th June, 2016 at Adelita Cancryn Playing Field.
Game 3: Curacao vs USVI, to be played in Curacao on 7th June, 2016 at Ergilio Hato.
