Jamaica’s Under-17 Reggae Boyz clobbered the Cayman Islands 12-0 in their CONCACAF World Cup qualifier at the Costa Rican Football Federation Field # 1 in Alajuela, and jumped to the top of Group G with four points, just ahead of Canada on goal difference.

Kingston College and Harbour View striker Kelvin Brown opened the floodgates in the very first minute and would score three more times in the 44^th, 71^st and 73^rd for a four-timer, taking his tally to five in two games.

Skipper Jahmarie Nolan scored twice in the 17^th, 45^th+3, as did Jamone Lyles (24^th, 58^th) and Tyraun Bembribge (76^th, 88^th). Rajon McKenzie (47^th). An own-goal by William Kirksey (53^rd) completed the rout.

In the 2025 playoffs, Jamaica also walloped Cayman Islands 10-1

With Canada defeating Aruba 5-1, Jamaica leads the group on goal difference and only need a draw on Wednesday against Canada to qualify for the 2026 FIFA Under-17 World Cup in Qatar for the first time since 2011.

Jamaica have a plus-15 goal difference, having beaten Aruba 3-0 and Cayman 12-0, compared to Canada’s plus-seven, with them winning their first game 3-0 against the Cayman Islands.

Jamaica have been to the Under-17 World Cup twice, the first in 1999.
