The Unity Cup returns for the first time since 2004 today, with Jamaica set to face off with Trinidad and Tobago in the semi-final at the Gtech Stadium.
Steve McLaren, who took over the Reggae Boyz last year, has named a young squad for the tournament, his first return to West London as a head coach since being sacked by Queens Park Rangers in 2019. They are on a four-game unbeaten run, last tasting defeat as they lost 4-2 to the United States in November.
Everton’s Mason Holgate, who spent this season on loan at West Bromwich Albion, returns to the squad, and he features alongside Charlton Athletic’s Kaheim Dixon and Burton Albion forward Rumarn Burrell, named in a senior Jamaica squad for the first time.
McLaren had hoped that West Ham’s Michail Antonio could make the squad after he broke his leg in December, but he will not be risked.
Trinidad’s squad, headed up by Aston Villa and Man United great Dwight Yorke, features Stevenage midfielder Daniel Phillips, and St Johnstone’s Andre Raymond.
It will be the 41st meeting between the two sides and the third this year, with Jamaica recording a 1-0 win and a 1-1 draw in the earlier fixtures.
Also contesting the Unity Cup are Ghana and Nigeria. The other semi-final will be held on Wednesday, with a the final and third-place decider to be played in a double-header on Saturday, May 31. All four matches will be held at the Gtech Stadium.
