The Jamaica Football Federation has named a 26-man squad for the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup, with the return of several key players and the inclusion of standout newcomers under the guidance of head coach Steve McClaren.
Michail Antonio is back in the national setup for the first time since a horrific car crash late last year. The West Ham United striker recently trained with the Reggae Boyz during the Unity Cup in England and now returns to competitive action on the international stage.
Also returning to the squad are Leon Bailey of Aston Villa, Damion Lowe of Al Okhdood in Saudi Arabia, and Demarai Gray, who now plays in the Saudi Pro League with Al Ettifaq.
One of the most eye-catching selections is Rumarn Burrell, the Burton Albion forward who scored on his senior debut against Trinidad and Tobago during the Unity Cup. His inclusion reflects the positive impression he made in England and signals a potential shift toward integrating younger attacking options.
The squad also features domestic league talents, including Dwayne Atkinson and goalkeeper Shaquan Davis of Mt Pleasant FA, as well as Warner Brown of Arnett Gardens, who scored on debut against St Vincent and the Grenadines in Jamaica’s dominant 3-0 Gold Cup qualifying win in March.
