Concacaf has conducted the official draw for the 2025 Concacaf U-17 Men’s Qualifiers.
The region’s FIFA U-17 World Cup qualifying competition will take place from February 7 to 16, 2025, across six venues, and 35 Concacaf Member Associations will participate.
Guyana will be based in Costa Rica and grouped alongside the hosts, Trinidad and Tobago, the British Virgin Islands, and Sint Maarten.
Their opening match will be against Trinidad and Tobago on February 7 followed by fixtures against Sint Maarten (February 11), Costa Rica (February 13) and British Virgin Islands (February 17).
