Jamaica will be well represented not only on the field but also officiating at the upcoming 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup, with four referees selected by the regional governing body to take part in the tournament.

Leading the quartet is referee Oshane Nation, a seasoned official with an impressive resume. Nation has previously officiated at the 2021 and 2023 Gold Cups, the Concacaf Nations League, Concacaf Champions League, the 2023 FIFA Under-20 World Cup, as well as the Concacaf Under-20 and Under-17 Championships in 2022 and 2019 respectively. He was also part of the 2025 Concacaf Refereeing Talent and Mentor Program that was aimed at accelerating the development of top refereeing talent across the region.

Joining Nation is assistant referee Ojay Duhaney, who brings experience from the 2021 and 2023 Gold Cups, the 2023 FIFA Under-20 World Cup, Concacaf Nations League, World Cup and Olympic qualifiers, and the Concacaf Champions League.

The video assistant referee duties will be handled by Daneon Parchment, 43, who also officiated at the 2023 Gold Cup and has overseen Concacaf Nations League games and international friendlies.

Support referee Steffon Dewar, who has officiated in World Cup qualifiers and Nations League matches, rounds out the Jamaican officiating contingent.
