ROAD TO RECOVERY

WITH the Reggae Boyz set to return to action next week, Jamaica Football Federation President Michael Ricketts is calling on fans to rally behind the team again but knows it will be extremely difficult after they missed out on this summer’s FIFA World Cup.

Jamaica will open their Concacaf Nations League A group stage campaign at the National Stadium against Guatemala next Friday, and Honduras on September 28.

It will be the first time the national senior men’s team will play on home soil since that dreaded goalless draw against Curacao last November which saw them miss automatic qualification for the World Cup in the USA, Mexico and Canada in the summer. They would miss out on qualification altogether in March when they lost to DR Congo in the Inter-Confederation Play-offs in Mexico.
