CONCACAF’s Disciplinary Committee has imposed sanctions on the Men’s Under-20 National Teams of the Anguilla Football Association and the Guyana Football Federation following incidents during their U-20 Qualifiers match on February 28.

After reviewing evidence and documentation gathered during its investigation, and in accordance with the applicable Disciplinary Code, the Committee declared the match a forfeit in favour of Guyana. 

The decision was taken after Anguilla received five red cards, leaving the team with fewer players than the minimum required under the Laws of the Game to continue. As a result, the 5-0 score in favour of Guyana stands.

The Committee also disqualified both teams from the competition. 

Their remaining matches will be recorded as 3-0 forfeits in favour of their respective opponents. 

Undisclosed fines were imposed, and four-match suspensions were issued to several players from both sides.

The suspended players are:

Anguilla: Keondre Belle, Keante Brooks, Shemor Browne, Khalique Jackson and Cardinae Rennie.

Guyana: Mateo Clark, Shaquan David, Sheldon Kendall and Max Robinson.

Each player must serve the four-match suspension during the next official matches of their representative team in the same age group in a CONCACAF or FIFA competition. 

Where the suspension cannot be served in the same age category, it will carry over to the next highest age group in a CONCACAF or FIFA competition.
