Mexico City, Mexico – An enthusiastic Golden Jaguars contingent suffered a slight disappointment in preparation for their clash versus Mexico, as they were denied the chance to train at the Estadio Azteca before match day.
According to FIFA regulations both teams were allowed a 1-hour training session Thursday each on the ground. The home side had their’s in the morning from 10-11am, while Guyana were scheduled to train from 6:15 – 7:15pm.
However on arriving at the venue, the teams joy was squashed as the saw the outfield of the historic venue under covers due to heavy afternoon rain and they were informed by the Mexican FA and FIFA officials that they could not use the venue and they were moved to the nearby Centro de Capacitacion ground.
That venue unlike the Azteca did not have lights so the team sessions was cut short to 45 minutes.
A high ranking official who wished to remain anonymous stated that it was part of FIFA regulation that on the day before a game, if rain falls, training could not take place there.
National coach Jamaal Shabazz in light of these events stated: “Of course we are disappointed we couldn’t get the use the ground here, but I have told the boys in all our team meetings to expect strange things to happen and in some ways although it’s understandable, we still managed a good session this evening”.
Where is the BETTER MANAGEMENT/RENEGOTIATION OF THE OIL CONTRACTS you promised Jagdeo?
