Football Fiesta in the National Stadium – March 26

The National U-17 Team will open the afternoon at 4:00pm as they play a Jamaica Select High School Team. This game is a part of the continuous preparation of the National U-17 team for their participation in Group B of the 2007 CONCACAF U-17 Tournament to be hosted in Jamaica April 28 – May 6.
