Guyana’s quest for FIFA U-17 World Cup qualification starts February 7 against Trinidad

Concacaf has conducted the official draw for the 2025 Concacaf U-17 Men’s Qualifiers.

The region’s FIFA U-17 World Cup qualifying competition will take place from February 7 to 16, 2025, across six venues, and 35 Concacaf Member Associations will participate.

Guyana will be based in Costa Rica and grouped alongside the hosts, Trinidad and Tobago, the British Virgin Islands, and Sint Maarten.

Their opening match will be against Trinidad and Tobago on February 7 followed by fixtures against Sint Maarten (February 11), Costa Rica (February 13) and British Virgin Islands (February 17).

All of these matches will be held at Estadio Alejandro Morera Soto.

The new Concacaf U-17 Men’s Qualifiers consist of a single round, in which the participating Member Associations are split into eight groups.

After round-robin play, where each team will play against each team in its group once, the eight group winners qualify for the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
