Reggae Boyz interim head coach Rudolph Speid says the Unity Cup will be used to deepen the national programme’s selection pool, as several players will get the chance to stake their claim ahead of the Concacaf Nations League.

Jamaica will face India tomorrow in their opening game of the Unity Cup before facing either Nigeria or Zimbabwe in their second match on Saturday.

Speaking in his pre-game press conference, Speid said one of the objectives for the Unity Cup is to give new players a chance to break into the national programme ahead of September’s Nations League campaign.
