Guyana’s Junior Jaguars are set to compete in the inaugural FIFA Global U-15 Boys Festival, which is scheduled to commence in October. This festival, organized by FIFA, aims to discover the next generation of international football stars and is exclusively for elite young players born in 2011 and 2012.
The tournament will utilize a fast-paced 8v8 playing format, designed by FIFA technical directors to enhance individual ball contact and improve decision-making on the field. To assemble a competitive 14-player roster, the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) will implement a comprehensive scouting strategy. This will involve data from the ongoing GFF Youth Ensemble Under-15 Championship and targeted talent searches within the Guyanese diaspora in North America and the United Kingdom.
GFF executives have described the invitation to the festival as a significant milestone for local youth, providing them with valuable international exposure and a clear development pathway.
