Jamaica to host USMNT World Cup qualifier without fans

The United States Men’s National Team will have to re-learn how to play in the atmosphere of silence during World Cup qualifying. Today, the Jamaican Football Federation announced that, due to Covid restrictions the Jamaican government continues to have over the country, the November 16th World Cup qualifier set to take place at Independence Stadium in Kingston will proceed without fans in the stands.

This is a huge blow to Jamaica, who had hoped to have 50% capacity for this match in an effort to boost the home field advantage that the stadium affectionately known as “The Office” normally has for big matches.
