Guyana’s Youth Football teams prepare for International competitions

The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) is gearing up for a busy period for its youth national teams, with the U17 Boys and Girls teams set to compete in international tournaments.

The U17 teams will face off against their Surinamese counterparts in a series of friendlies in November, building on a successful bilateral agreement established last year.

This series will provide valuable international experience for the young players.

In early 2025, both the U17 Boys and Girls teams will participate in CONCACAF qualifiers, with the goal of advancing to the FIFA U17 World Cup.

The U20 Women’s team will also compete in the CONCACAF U20 Women’s Qualifiers and Championships.

in a release to the media, the GFF indicated that they have implemented a rigorous training schedule for all three teams to prepare for these crucial competitions.

The technical staff is focusing on developing the players’ technical skills, tactical awareness, and physical fitness.

The federation  further added that this “is also committed to expanding its player pool by scouting talent from across the country, including the hinterland regions.

This inclusive approach will ensure that Guyana has a strong pool of players to draw from for future generations.”

According to the GFF, the investment in youth development is a testament to its commitment to building a strong foundation for the future of Guyanese football.
