The U.S. U-17 national team will get a taste of what they should expect to see in CONCACAF qualifying this spring when they travel to Jamaica to face an all-star team on Friday.
Along with the match, the four-day trip will be beneficial for the U-17s, who will have the chance to practice in Kingston’s National Stadium, the location for all the Group B games of the CONCACAF Under-17 Qualifying Tournament, which will take place April 28-May 6.
The National Stadium, nicknamed “the Office,” has been the site of many Jamaica-USA full international matches through the years.
