Head Coach Wayne Dover Briefs Players Prior to Start Of One Of The Team’s Training Session
After four weeks of training, Head Coach of the National U20 Men’s team Wayne Dover said Guyana is ready to compete at the Concacaf U20 Men’s Championship scheduled for Nicaragua from February 15 – 23, 2020.
Guyana has been placed in Group A with St. Vincent and The Grendadines, Montserrat, US Virgin Islands and host Nicaragua.
“The National U-20 Team has been engaged in intense preparation for the CONCACAF Men’s U-20 World Cup Qualifiers this month and as such is ready to compete,” said Dover in an invited comment. “Despite the expected competitive nature of the group, I’m optimistic we could qualify out of this group.”
Guyana has had a total of 25 players engaged in weekly sessions at the GFF National Training Centre, Providence, with some joint sessions with the Senior Men’s National Team: “The training has been good since we started. There were a couple of sessions that were merged with the senior national team, and coach Maximo took charge of those sessions with assistance from me and other U-20 staff members. There was a big effort to focus on team organization, how to attack, and how to defend.”
