Lady Jags hunt first win in CONCACAF Qualifiers today against Dominica
Kaieteur Sports – As opportunity meets ambition, Guyana’s Lady Jags will be hunting their first win of the 2025/26 campaign when they face Dominica in their home fixture of the CONCACAF Women’s World Cup Qualifiers today at the Leonora Track and Field Centre.
Tension is high following a pulsating opening round that produced 34 matches and 102 goals. Guyana will be eager to capitalise on home advantage, especially after suffering an early 3-1 defeat to Nicaragua in their December outing.
