KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Jamaican national football team, known as the ReggaeBoyz, has announced significant changes to their starting lineup ahead of their decisive World Cup qualifier against Curacao. The match, scheduled for Friday at the Ergilio Hato Stadium, is part of the Concacaf Group B campaign. Head coach Steve McClaren, who previously fielded an unchanged squad in victories over Bermuda and Trinidad and Tobago last month, has opted for a reshuffled team to face second-placed Curacao, who trail Jamaica by two points in the group standings. Key changes include the return of Andre Blake as goalkeeper, replacing Jahmali Waite, and the inclusion of Ethan Pinnock, Amari’i Bell, and Dexter Lembikisa in the defensive line. Midfielder Bobby Reid and debutant Ian Fray have also been named in the starting eleven. McClaren has retained the attacking trio of Bailey Cadamarteri, Tyreece Campbell, and Renaldo Cephas, while Richard King and Jonathon Russell return to the defense and midfield, respectively. Notably absent from the lineup are Damion Lowe, who captained the team in the previous two matches, along with Greg Leigh, Kasey Palmer, and Issac Hayden.
