The eagerly anticipated CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final match between Jamaica and Canada has been rescheduled to take place on Saturday at the National Stadium, with a kickoff time of 10:30 a.m. This match marks the first leg of a two-match series, with the second game scheduled for Tuesday at the BMO Field in Toronto, Canada.
Heavy rainfall late in the afternoon and evening on Friday resulted in the accumulation of water in various areas of the National Stadium field. Consequently, officials were compelled to postpone the originally scheduled 7:00 p.m. kickoff.
