The Jamaica Football Federation has confirmed two friendlies for the Reggae Boyz against Trinidad and Tobago which are slated for February 6 and 9 in Jamaica.

The match on February 6 will take place at the Montego Bay Sports Complex at 7:30pm while the fixture on February 9 in Kingston will be at the Anthony Spaulding Sports Complex at 8pm.

Both Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago are using these games in preparation for the CONCACAF Gold Cup Prelims which are slated for March.

Jamaica will face St. Vincent and the Grenadines for a spot in the Group stages of the Gold Cup while Trinidad and Tobago will face Cuba.

President of the Jamaica Football Federation Mr. Michael Ricketts spoke about the importance of these fixtures.

“Our Head Coach Mr. McClaren expressed from last year a desire for an opportunity to analyze the domestic based players on the island and we have worked assiduously to arrange these fixtures and camps which will take place leading into these games. This is the 3rd year in a row we have kicked off with games vs Trinidad and each year has been beneficial. 2023 prepared us for the Gold Cup and Nations League campaigns while last year we saw how useful this was ahead of the Nations League and the World Cup Qualifiers. This year is no different as Coach McClaren and the technical staff fine tune preparations for the World Cup Qualifiers which resume in June.”
