Dixon and Nicholson Set to Lead Against Bermuda in World Cup Qualifier Showdown
Jamaica’s national football team is gearing up for a crucial World Cup qualifier against Bermuda. The match is set for Tuesday at the National Stadium in Kingston. This game is part of the Concacaf Group B qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
Dixon and Nicholson Take the Lead
Strikers Kaheim Dixon and Shamar Nicholson will be starting in this pivotal match. Both players recently came off the bench during Jamaica’s disappointing loss to Curacao on Friday. Their inclusion aims to bolster the attack against Bermuda, a team struggling at the bottom of the standings.

Midfielders Kasey Palmer and Isaac Hayden are also back on the squad after serving suspensions. They will replace Ian Fray and Jonathon Russell in the starting lineup. This change is expected to enhance Jamaica’s midfield stability.
Defensive Adjustments
In addition to the attacking reinforcements, Greg Leigh will take over the left-back position from Amari’i Bell. These strategic adjustments reflect Jamaica’s determination to secure a win.

- Andre Blake (Goalkeeper)
- Dexter Lembikisa
