Philadelphia Union goalkeeper Andre Blake has been named to Jamaica’s 23-man roster for the 2016 Copa America Centenario, which will take place from June 3-26. Blake will leave for international duty following the Union’s May 28 match against Colorado Rapids.
“We really cannot stress how great it has been to work with the Jamaican Football Federation,” Union head coach Jim Curtin said. “Together, we came to the conclusion that this is what’s best for both parties and we want to thank them for their understanding. We’re excited for Andre and wish him the best of luck as he leads Jamaica this summer.
