THE JAMAICA Football Federation (JFF) is now in the final planning stages to host three international games in September.

The Reggae Boyz will start their campaign in the Concacaf Nations League with two home games against Honduras on September 8 at 8 p.m., and Haiti on Tuesday, September 12 at 7 p.m. Both games will be at the National Stadium.

Ten days later, September 22 at 7 p.m., the Reggae Girlz will face Olympic champions, Canada, in the first of a two-game tie, also at the National Stadium, to decide which team will represent Concacaf at the 2024 Paris Olympics, along with the United States. A second game in the tie will be held in Canada four days later.

All three games will be played within FIFA windows, meaning the best players will be available to the coaches.

Entry prices to all three games are as follows: VIP $7,000, Grandstand $5,000, and Bleachers, $1,500. There will be a triple bill/season pass for all three categories: VIP$19,000, Grandstand $13,500 and Bleachers $4,000. Tickets will be sold online, but fans may purchase physical tickets at the JFF office.

Five JFF Instagram followers are also being given an opportunity to win two grandstand tickets to the game of their choice over the next three days.

The IG followers can earn that ticket by naming the 22-man squad to be selected by coach Heimir Hallgrimsson.

Entries for that Instagram competition opened yesterday and will close on Friday, at 10:00 a.m.
