Jamaica’s national football team moved one step closer to qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after a 1‑0 win over New Caledonia in their intercontinental play‑off semi‑final in Mexico. Bailey Cadamarteri scored the crucial goal, securing Jamaica’s place in the final against DR Congo at the same venue.
The victory ensures the Caribbean side will have a chance to clinch World Cup qualification when they face DR Congo on 31 March. The winner of that match will earn a spot in the expanded 48‑team tournament later this year.
