The Mexican team will see action again in the final octagonal next Thursday 25 January, when it is their turn to visit Jamaica in Kingston, in a confrontation that will be played behind closed doors due to a massive resurgence of COVID-19.
The Jamaican Football Federation communicated, to through their social networks that due to the increase in infections, not only the match against Mexico will be played behind closed doors, but also the match against the Costa Rican team.
The president of the JFF , Michael Ricketts, was very disappointed by the situation, but understands the seriousness of the new variant.
“We are very, very disappointed. We really thought we had passed that stage. But at the same time, we understand the seriousness of the pandemic and the new strain of COVID-19”, reported Ricketts.
The Mexican national team could take advantage of the lack of an audience to play a game without so much pressure and get a positive result in a stadium where historically they have not done badly.
After ‘El Tri’ visits Jamaica, he will return home to face Costa Rica at the Estadio Azteca, on Sunday 30 in January, and finally they will close the triple date against Panama on Wednesday, February 2, a match that will also be played in the Colossus of Santa Úrsula.
