JFF said the Reggae Boyz and senior coach Theodore Whitmore are committed to making the occasion an eventful one.
The federation reminded that tickets will not be available at the stadium on the day of the matches but can be purchased at all advertised outlets today and tomorrow.
JFF also encouraged patrons to come out early and wear gold and called on the nation to show the region that hosting this event is not only deserved but should be continuous over the years to come.
