The Reggae Boyz are set to kick off the
semifinal round of CONCACAF qualifiers for the South Africa 2010
World Cup against Canada in Toronto on August 20 at the BMO Field
starting at 5:30pm ET.
The return game will be played at the National Stadium in Kingston
on September 19.
This is a big boost for the National team as they will play in a
city that is home to hundred of thousands of Jamaicans and other
persons from the Caribbean.
“I am extremely
satisfied that the city of Toronto will be chosen to host the game
between Jamaica and Canada,” said Captain Horace Burrell,
President of the Jamaica Football Federation to Jamaicawin.com.
“I am hoping
that this will have a positive effect on the team as so many
Jamaicans live in Toronto. I am hoping that they will purchase
their tickets early as the team needs all the support they can get
when they start this crucial round of qualification.”
Burrell, who
is currently on football business in Europe, said that tickets for
the game will go on sale on July 14
through Ticketmaster (ticketmaster.ca
or 416.872.5000)
