Junior Lady Jags honoured at award ceremony following strong CFU U14 campaign
Kaieteur Sports – The Junior Lady Jags returned home to a warm welcome and an award ceremony held at the National Training Centre, where parents, coaching staff, and Guyana Football Federation (GFF) officials gathered to celebrate their impressive run at the 2025 CFU U14 Girls Challenge Series.
Guyana topped its group stage undefeated, advancing to the semifinals where they battled bravely against French Guiana.
Despite falling short by one goal in a penalty shootout and narrowly missing a spot in the final, the young and majority-indigenous squad captured the nation’s pride with their performances.
During the ceremony, GFF General Secretary Pushpargha Chattopadhyay praised the team’s commitment and spirit, noting that their achievements mark an important step for women’s football in Guyana.

He expressed gratitude on behalf of the GFF Council for the players’ efforts in representing the country on the international stage and reaffirmed the Federation’s commitment to supporting their continued development.
“The Junior Lady Jags have made us proud. Their fight, discipline, and passion show the potential of this new generation. The GFF will continue to support their journey as they grow, with the hope that many of them will one day make the transition to the Senior Women’s National Team,” Chattopadhyay said.
The General Secretary was joined by Mr. Richard DeNobrega, Senior Vice President, Sales and Development at Blue Water Shipping, who also congratulated the team on the occasion.
The GFF Council is grateful to Blue Water Shipping for being an important stakeholder of women’s football in Guyana. The company has served as the title sponsor for the U-15 Blue Water Secondary Girls Inter-School Championship, from which the majority of the girls in the team were scouted.
The ceremony highlighted not only the team’s results but also the importance of building a pathway for young female footballers, ensuring that their international experience becomes a stepping stone toward future success.
