Should Inter Miami’s Ian Fray walk onto the pitch in Curaçao wearing Jamaica’s green, gold, and black, it will symbolise more than just a debut. It will be the culmination of perseverance, patience, and the fulfilment of a family’s legacy long intertwined with the island’s footballing story.

The rugged 22-year-old Inter Miami defender, once sidelined by three major injuries, is now on the verge of making his international debut for Jamaica in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against second-place Curaçao.
