Jamaica has another important addition to its lineup for the 2026 World Cup qualifying.
„The Athletic“ journalist David Ornstein has announced that Demarai Gray has made the decision to represent the Jamaican national team.
The 26-year-old "Everton" forward may represent this team due to his Jamaican roots.
Recently, similar decisions were made by Michail Antonio and Leon Bailey. It is with these players that Jamaica will try to qualify for the World Cup. The task is quite realistic, as North America will have 6 guaranteed spots in the tournament, including the host team.
In his youth, D. Gray played for England's youth teams.
