THINKING AHEAD

Although appointed on an interim basis, Reggae Boyz Head Coach Rudolph Speid says he’s already thinking about the 2030 FIFA World Cup Qualifying campaign, after naming the squad for the upcoming Concacaf Nations League campaign.

On Friday, the 24-man squad was revealed for the four games in the September to October international window, which kicks off next Friday against Guatemala at the National Stadium. The national senior men’s team will then host Honduras the following Monday before travelling to El Salvador on October 2 and Honduras on October 5.

Ten players who were not part of last September to November’s unsuccessful Concacaf World Cup qualifying campaign have been selected including winger Leon Bailey, who recently made his debut for Greek club Olympiakos. Only one, though, will be set for a debut in defender Miguel Freckleton who plays for Austrian League champions LASK.
