The Guyana national football team is the national team of Guyana and is controlled by the Guyana Football Federation. Although the former British colony is located in South America, it competes in CONCACAF, together with Suriname and French Guiana.Until the independence of Guyana in 1966, it competed as the British Guiana national football team. They were surprise qualifiers for the Caribbean Nations Cup 2007. At the tournament, Guyana finished top of Group A in Stage One, then top of Group H in Stage Two (which they hosted), and finished 3rd in the Bobby Sookram Group, missing out on a Semi-Final berth on goal difference alone. Had Guyana reached the semi-finals, they would have qualified for the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
