Soccer-Jamaica reach World Cup playoff final with 1-0 win over New Caledonia

ReutersMar 27, 2026 5:18 AM

March 27 (Reuters) - Jamaica defeated New Caledonia 1-0 in their inter-confederation playoff semi-final in Guadalajara on Thursday to keep alive their hopes of a first World Cup appearance since 1998.

Jamaica will face DR Congo on Tuesday for a spot in Group K at the June 11 to July 19 World Cup in North America alongside Colombia, Portugal and Uzbekistan, while New Caledonia's hunt for their first finals berth came to an end.

Jamaica's Bailey Cadamarteri scored the only goal in the 18th minute, converting from close range after New Caledonia keeper parried Ronaldo Webster’s free kick into his path.

Georges Gope-Fenepej had a golden opportunity to equalise early in the second half but could not connect with a cross in front of goal.

New Caledonia keeper Rocky Nyikeine made a crucial intervention to halt Webster's dangerous run inside the box and prevent Jamaica from doubling their lead.

The crowd got behind New Caledonia as they pushed for a late equalizer but they could not break through and Jamaica closed out the win.
