Reggae Boyz squad named for opening Nations League games

Head Coach Rudolph Speid has named his Reggae Boyz squad for the first two games of their 2026-2027 Concacaf Nations League campaign.

Jamaica, drawn in Group B, will open the first round at the National Stadium against Guatemala on Friday, September 25, before welcoming Honduras four days later on Tuesday, September 29.

Speid has selected a 24-man squad for the assignment.

It will see the return to the Reggae Boyz squad for a number of players who last represented Jamaica in the failed World Cup 2026 qualifying campaign. Among them are goalkeeper and captain Andre Blake, wingers Leon Bailey and Tyreece Campbell, defender Richard King, midfielders Kasey Palmer and Karoy Anderson, and forward Renaldo Cephas.

The top two teams from the two Nations League preliminary groups will qualify for the finals where they will be drawn alongside the ranked teams- two-time defending champions Mexico, the USA, Canada and Panama in the quarterfinals.

See the full Reggae Boyz squad below.
