Jamaica’s Reggae Boyz earlier this morning wrapped up their final training session in West London, putting the finishing touches on their preparations ahead of Saturday’s highly anticipated Unity Cup final against Nigeria.

The thrilling encounter is set to kick off at 11 a.m. Jamaica time at the GTech Community Stadium, where the two footballing powerhouses will battle for intercontinental supremacy.

The Reggae Boyz punched their ticket to the final after a dramatic 3-2 victory over Caribbean rivals Trinidad and Tobago on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Nigeria’s Super Eagles edged past Ghana with a 2-1 win in the second semi-final played a day later, setting up a thrilling showdown between the two teams.

Saturday’s final marks the seventh meeting between Jamaica and Nigeria. Historically, Nigeria holds the advantage with two wins, three draws, and just one loss. Jamaica’s sole victory came in a memorable match back in May 2003 when the Reggae Boyz triumphed 3-2, thanks to goals from Onandi Lowe, Michael Johnson, and Andy Williams.

The rivalry dates back even further to June 1998, shortly before the FIFA World Cup in France, when the teams first met in a gripping 2-2 draw. Subsequent encounters, including a tight 1-0 win for Nigeria at London’s Loftus Road in 2002 and a 2-0 victory during the inaugural Unity Cup in 2004, have seen the Super Eagles maintain the upper hand.

Ahead of the final, fans can also look forward to the third-place playoff between Ghana’s Black Stars and Trinidad and Tobago’s Soca Warriors, scheduled for 6:30 a.m. Jamaica time.
