Big test in Guyana to avoid drop

The Cayman Islands Men’s National Team will look to retain its place in League B of the Concacaf Nations League in Guyana for its final two group-stage matches of the 2026-27 competition this week.

Cayman will face Guyana on Thursday, 12 November, before concluding its campaign against Dominica on Tuesday, 17 November. Both matches will be played at the Leonora National Track and Field Centre in Guyana, with kick-off scheduled for 2pm Cayman time.

The November window represents an important opportunity for Cayman, which is competing in League B for the first time after earning promotion from League C in the previous Nations League cycle.

Cayman began its historic League B campaign with a scoreless draw against Dominica in September before suffering defeats to Guyana and Puerto Rico during the opening international window. With two matches remaining, Cayman is looking to finish its campaign strongly and remain in League B.

“We knew coming into League B that the level of competition would be higher and that every match would present a challenge,” head coach Dougie Rowe said. “We’ve gained valuable experience from our first four matches, and now our focus is on making the most of these final two opportunities.

“Staying in League B is important for the continued development of this national team. We worked hard to earn promotion, and we want to establish ourselves at this level. The players understand what’s at stake, and we’ll be doing everything we can to finish the campaign on a positive note.” Cayman is competing in Group A alongside Guyana, Puerto Rico and Dominica, with each team playing six matches.

The November fixtures will conclude the group stage, determining which teams earn promotion to League A, which retain their League B status and which are relegated to League C. The competition also serves as a qualification pathway for the 2027 Concacaf Gold Cup.
