In the 2019-20 edition of the CONCACAF Nations League, Jamaica competed in League B which is the second tier of the league and gained promotion to the top tier in which they will compete against the likes of Mexico and defending champions United States.
Mexico lost out to eventual champions United States in the semi-final of the previous edition of the CONCACAF Nations League.
The Mexico national team, under the guidance of former Barcelona head coach Gerard Martino, are currently ninth in the world, according to the latest FIFA ranking published on March 31, 2022. They are also the top-ranked nation in the CONCACAF region and have climbed three places from 12th compared to the FIFA ranking in February 2022.
Martino's men are set to compete in their eighth consecutive FIFA World Cup this year. The team has made it to the last 16 in each of their seven previous World Cup outings.
El Tri are up against Jamaica, who have made their debut in top tier of the CONCACAF Nations League by gaining promotion from League B in their previous edition.
The Reggae Boyz are ranked 64th in the world and sixth among CONCACAF nations in the latest FIFA Ranking.
The team coached by Paul Hall dropped two places (from 62 to 64) despite losing only 0.13 points from the FIFA ranking released in February 2022.
The next FIFA ranking will be published on June 23, 2022.
