Guatemala's national team travels to Paramaribo to meet Suriname on October 2, 2026, at Dr. Franklin Essed Stadium.
The fixture marks the third matchday of Group B in the Concacaf Nations League A.
A win on foreign soil could temporarily lift Guatemala to the top of the group standings under head coach Luis Fernando Tena.
Guatemala's Squad Adjustments
Guatemala enters the match with critical roster changes due to the absence of key attacking figures Darwin Gregorio Lom and Oscar Santis.
Lom serves a one-match suspension following accumulated yellow cards.
Santis remains sidelined after sustaining an injury during the previous matchday.
Coach Tena is expected to adjust his starting lineup by integrating options such as Rudy Munoz, Olger Escobar, or William Jehu Fajardo alongside forward Rubio Rubin.
Mexican referee Katia Itzel Garcia will officiate the match, supported by assistant referees Sandra Ramirez and Karen Diaz.
Suriname's Overseas Talent
Suriname has demonstrated significant growth in recent years, relying heavily on foreign-based talent.
A total of 23 of its 24 called-up players compete in overseas leagues across Europe and the Middle East.
Key international figures for Suriname include right winger Gyrano Kerk of Turkey's Erzurumspor FK, defender Kenneth Paal of Antalyaspor, defender Shaquille Pinas of Saudi Arabia's Al-Kholood, and goalkeeper Etienne Vaessen of Dutch club Groningen.
Guatemala holds an all-time head-to-head advantage with three victories and two draws in five historic encounters against Suriname.
