Jamaica's Reggae Boyz booked their place in the 2026 Unity Cup final with a commanding 2-0 victory over India in the tournament's second semi-final, held in London on Wednesday.

Clarke Courtney opened the scoring in the 8th minute before Kaheim Dixon wrapped up the result in the 78th minute, sending Jamaica through to Saturday's showpiece.

Super Eagles await in the final

Nigeria's Super Eagles will stand between Jamaica and their first-ever Unity Cup title after Eric Chelle's side dispatched Zimbabwe 2-0 in the other semi-final. Debutant Femi Azeez scored both goals to earn Nigeria their place in the final.

India and Zimbabwe will meet in the third-place play-off, also scheduled for Saturday.

A rematch of the 2025 final

This will not be the first time these two sides have met at this stage. Jamaica and Nigeria faced each other in the 2025 Unity Cup final, a match that ended 2-2 after 90 minutes before the Super Eagles claimed the title 5-4 on penalties.

Nigeria arrive at Saturday's final chasing a fourth Unity Cup title, while Jamaica are desperate to go one better than last year and lift the trophy for the first time.
