JAMAICA’S REGGAE Boyz will have Cuba, Nicaragua, and Honduras for company when the Concacaf Nations League A begins this September.

The Reggae Boyz will play two matches in the September window and another two in the October window.

Jamaica, who are in Group B, have their opening game on September 6 against Cuba at the National Stadium before an away fixture against Honduras on September 10.

In the October window, the Reggae Boyz will face Nicaragua away on the 10th before facing Honduras at home on the 14th.

Jamaica have had good results against the teams in Group B recently, enjoying victories against all three in their outings.

They meet Honduras again as they did last September in the Nations League when Demarai Gray scored to give them a 1-0 victory in September 2023.

The last time Jamaica met Cuba was in 2015 for an international friendly. Jamaica won that encounter 3-0.

The last time the Reggae Boyz faced Nicaragua was also in 2015, winning 2-0 on Central American soil.

The top two teams from each of the Nations League A groups will advance to the quarterfinals of the competition and will play one of either the United States, Canada, Mexico, or Panama in November.
