KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaica’s Reggae Boyz have been drawn to face nemesis Mexico in the CONCACAF Gold Cup slated for several states across the USA July 7-26.

At a draw at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Tuesday, Jamaica were also drawn in Group C with Central American outfit El Salvador and Caribbean rivals Cuaracao.

In Group A, Honduras, Costa Rica, French Guiana and Canada will do battle, while the USA, Panama, Martinique and Haiti or Nicaragua will contest Group B.

In the 2015 edition of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, Jamaica created history by reaching the final of the confederation’s premier tournament, going down to eventual champions Mexico 3-1 in Philadelphia.

“With the groups now determined, we have a full look at the schedule of Gold Cup matches to be played this July,” said CONCACAF President Victor Montagliani. “With so many compelling matches set to take place in great stadiums from coast to coast, culminating at Levi’s Stadium on July 26, it’s going to be an exciting summer of football for fans across the region,” he added.
