Guatemala Faces Guyana in Crucial Gold Cup Qualifier

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados — The Guatemala national football team is set to face Guyana on March 21, 2025, in the first of two critical matches for the 2025 Gold Cup qualification. The match is scheduled to take place at the BFA Technical Centre.

This encounter presents a significant challenge for Guatemala, as they aim to solidify their position in the upcoming tournament despite missing one of their key players. For Guyana, it is an opportunity to alter the course of their historical record against Guatemala.

Following the first leg, the teams will head to Guatemala City for the return match on March 25. Coach Luis Fernando Tena will nearly have his full squad available and is under pressure not to let errors cost his team in this elimination stage.

Guatemala enters the match with the advantage of having played recently against Honduras, winning that encounter 2-1 at Chase Stadium. In contrast, Guyana has not competed since November 19, 2024, when they secured a dramatic 5-3 victory over Barbados in the Concacaf Nations League.

The kickoff for the match is set for 7:00 PM local time, and it will be streamed live on Disney Plus. This broadcasting format will continue for the match in Guatemala City on March 25 at the Cementos Progreso Stadium.
