The Jamaica Football Federation and the Basque Football Federation (BFF) have jointly decided to postpone the International friendly game between the teams which was scheduled for May 27, 2022, in Spain.

According to a statement from the JFF, the postponement became necessary as the hosts were experiencing challenges securing all the permits from their local authorities to host the game and the deadlines given had expired.

“The BFF has apologized to the JFF and has agreed to a game in the future at a date convenient to both teams,” the statement said.

Jamaica will play Catalonia in Spain on May 25, a match that will offer opportunities for the Reggae Boyz coaching staff to look at new players, mainly from Europe.

These new players, depending on the assessment of the technical staff, could play a role in the short, medium or long-term plans for the squad as the JFF aims at incorporating new players in its player roster as early as possible in a new four-year cycle.
