Reggae Boyz face Brazil in friendly

KINGSTON: Jamaica’s Reggae Boyz are slated to tackle a Brazil select team in a football friendly at the National Stadium on July 27.

Organisers announced on Friday that the Brazil side will include current national players, as well as names from the 1994 and 1998 World Cup tournaments. The Brazil select team will include Bebeto and Aldair from the World Cup winning 1994 squad, and Junior Biano, who played four years later when Brazil lost the World Cup final to France. The game, dubbed “Ultimate Power Promotion” by sponsors Guinness, has a date clash with the Concacaf Gold Cup final, but should Jamaica reach the confederation final, July 30 has been set as a reserve date for the game.
