“Due to a family emergency, Guam National Team Head Coach Karl Dodd recently advised us of his decision to resign,” said Marvin “Ike” Iseke, Guam Football Association General Secretary. “We supported his decision to put his family first and continue to support him through this tough situation. His decision was made at a very difficult time as he was preparing for the upcoming Asian Qualifiers of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ and AFC Asian Cup China 2023™ to be completed in June in China. We thank Karl for all his contributions to Guam’s national program and wish him and his family all the best during this time and in future endeavors.”
