Jamaica's Reggae Boyz

 


The Jamaica national men's football team, the Reggae Boyz, did not automatically qualify for the FIFA World Cup 2026.

Here are the key details:

  • CONCACAF Qualification: They missed out on a direct spot on the final day of the CONCACAF qualifiers. They finished second in their final round group with 11 points, just one point behind Curaçao, who secured the automatic qualification berth.

  • Play-off Tournament: Because they finished second, they secured a place in the Inter-confederation Play-off Tournament. This is their last chance to qualify for the World Cup.

  • Next Steps: The Play-off Tournament will be held in March 2026 in Mexico. Jamaica is set to play their first match against New Caledonia from the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC). The winner of that match will then face a team from the African Confederation (either DR Congo or Nigeria) for a spot in the World Cup.

So, while they didn't get the automatic ticket, their hopes are still alive through the play-offs.
