MIAMI – The Second Round of Concacaf Qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup continues Thursday with another six matches on the Road to 2026.
The day begins in Kingston, where Jamaica will host the Dominican Republic. The day concludes with two primetime matches in Central America as Costa Rica faces Saint Kitts and Nevis, and El Salvador battles Puerto Rico.
Jamaica vs. Dominican Republic
Jamaica and the Dominican Republic meet in Group E at the National Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica.
Michail Antonio, Shamar Nicholson, and Bobby Reid will be players to watch in the Reggae Boyz attack. The trio helped Jamaica finish third in the 2023-24 CONCACAF Nations League.
Dorny Romero also shined in the recent CNL campaign, scoring six goals in League B, and headlines the Dominican Republic frontline.
Haiti vs. Saint Lucia
Haiti and Saint Lucia square off in Group C at Wildey Turf in Bridgetown, Barbados.
Frantzdy Pierrot and Duckens Nazon are just two of the Haiti players who will have the attention of the Saint Lucia defense.
The visiting defense will likely look to Vino Barclett, one of the top goalkeepers of the most recent CNL campaign, and Terell Thomas.
Honduras vs. Cuba
Honduras hosts Cuba in Group A at the Chelato Ucles National Stadium in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The two countries met in Concacaf Nations League A last October, with Honduras winning its home encounter.
Eight players from league champion CD Olimpia will be available for selection, as will the league’s top scorer Alexy Vega from Marathon.
Cuba will look to Luis Paradela, one of its scorers at the 2023 Gold Cup, to help take a result on the road.

Panama vs. Guyana
Panama meets Guyana in Group D at the Rommel Fernandez Stadium in Panama City, Panama.
After a runner-up finish at the Gold Cup and fourth place in the Nations League, Panama aims to convert its recent success into a World Cup return. Ismael Diaz, Adalberto Carrasquilla, and Eric Davis are just some of the notables on the latest call-up sheet.
Omari Glasgow, Kelsey Benjamin, and Osaze De Rosario will be the players to follow in the Guyana attack. Glasgow and Benjamin led the way for the Golden Jaguars in CNL scoring, helping the nation gain promotion to League A.
Costa Rica vs. Saint Kitts and Nevis
Costa Rica takes on Saint Kitts and Nevis in Group B at the National Stadium in San Jose, Costa Rica.
Six players from league champion Deportivo Saprissa, including goalkeeper Kevin Chamorro and forward Warren Madrigal, will represent Costa Rica.
Vice-Captain Romaine Sawyers will be among the players who hope to inspire Saint Kitts and Nevis to a positive road result.
El Salvador vs. Puerto Rico
El Salvador and Puerto Rico battle in Group F at the Cuscatlan Stadium in San Salvador, El Salvador.
Salvadoran league champions with Alianza, goalkeeper Mario Gonzalez, and midfielders Narciso Orellana and Leonardo Menjivar look to translate their club form into national team success.
Visiting Puerto Rico will look to the likes of Ricardo Rivera, Wilfredo Rivera, and Zarek Valentin to come away with at least a point away in Central America.
