Reggae Boyz make Nations League date with Canada

Jamaica’s Reggae Boyz learned earlier this morning they will face Canada in a Concacaf Nations League A quarterfinal tie on November 17 and 21.

By virtue of finishing as the second-best qualifier from the group stage, Jamaica will play the third-highest seeded team, already waiting in the quarterfinal.

Among the other qualifiers, Panama, who topped the four to have contested the group stages, will face up against Costa Rica, while Trinidad and Tobago, who finished as best runners up, have to contend with the United States.

Honduras will play Mexico.

The winners of the quarterfinal ties will, not only move on to the Concacaf Nations League final round, but they will also earn places in the 2024 Conmebol Copa America.

Jamaica made their way into the quarterfinals after topping Group B with 10 points.

Those 10 points were amassed through a 1-0 win over Honduras and a 2-2 draw with Haiti in Jamaica, before a 4-1 victory over Grenada in Grenada and a 3-2 finale against Haiti in Trinidad and Tobago.

Haiti, Grenada, Curacao, and El Salvador have been relegated to Concacaf Nations League B.
