Since Jamaica did not qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup which is to be held in North America starting June 11, Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) president Michael Ricketts has shared that his favourites to win are France, Argentina and Belgium.

“I like a few teams. I am a fan of Kylian Mbappé, so obviously France is one of them. I like Argentina and I do have a relationship with Belgium so I hope the winner will come from that group,” Ricketts, who is currently in Florida in the United States told the Jamaica Observer on Friday.

Ricketts is currently in the US to support the Jamaica Under-20 team that will play an Under-20 team from Haiti at 9:15pm on Saturday at the Lauderhill Sports Complex. The game was organised by the Caribbean Americas Soccer Association (CASA).
