Guyana Secures Victory Over Cambodia in FIFA Series Finale

In a thrilling final match of the inaugural FIFA Series, Guyana showcased their prowess on the pitch, defeating Cambodia 4-1 at the Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Omari Glasgow stole the spotlight with a stellar performance, scoring a remarkable double to secure victory for the Golden Jaguars.

Guyana got off to a strong start, with Leo Lovell and Ryan Khedoo also finding the back of the net alongside Glasgow. Despite facing stiff competition from the Cambodian side, currently ranked 179th by FIFA, the Golden Jaguars maintained their composure and dominated play throughout the match.

The game saw several standout moments, including Glasgow’s impressive header to open the scoring and his composed penalty kick to complete his brace. Lovell and Khedoo further extended Guyana’s lead with well-taken goals, leaving little chance for Cambodia to mount a comeback.

This victory comes as a confidence booster for Guyana following their earlier defeat to Cabo Verde in the tournament’s opening match. The team’s resilient performance highlights their potential as they look ahead to the FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

These matches are part of FIFA’s new initiative, approved by the FIFA Council in 2023, aimed at hosting matches across the six confederations in even-numbered years. As the Golden Jaguars return home, they will now shift their focus to the upcoming World Cup qualifiers, where they are set to face formidable opponents like Panama on June 6th.
