By Rubén Morales Iglesias: The road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup intensifies Tuesday as the Concacaf Final Round Qualifiers resume with four pivotal matchups across Central America and the Caribbean. With group standings still tightly contested, every point earned tonight could shape the region’s representation in next summer’s global tournament.
Concacaf World Cup Qualifiers – Tuesday, September 9, 2025
Venue: National Stadium, Kingston
Kickoff: 6:00 PM (Jamaica) / 5:00 PM (Belize)
Venue: Estadio Ergilio Hato, Willemstad
Kickoff: 6:00 PM (Curaçao) / 5:00 PM (Belize)
Venue: Estadio Nacional Chelato Uclés, Tegucigalpa
Kickoff: 8:00 PM (Honduras) / 7:00 PM (Belize)
Venue: Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica, San José
Kickoff: 8:00 PM (Costa Rica) / 7:00 PM (Belize)
Group Dynamics
- Group B sees Jamaica host Trinidad & Tobago in a classic Caribbean clash. Both sides are chasing their first win after opening draws, with Jamaica hoping home advantage tips the scale.
- Group C features Honduras desperate to rebound after a frustrating 0–0 draw with Haiti. They face Nicaragua, who impressed with a gritty 1–1 result against Costa Rica despite going down to ten men.
- Costa Rica, a perennial World Cup contender, must assert dominance against Haiti to avoid slipping behind in Group C.
- Meanwhile, Curaçao enter as heavy favourites against Bermuda, boasting a 77.9% win probability.
All eyes are on Nicaragua’s captain Juan Barrera, who is set to earn his 100th cap—quite an achievement matched by only one other player in the nation’s history. Byron Bonilla, fresh off his 81st-minute equalizer against Costa Rica, will be key to Nicaragua’s attacking hopes.
What’s at Stake
Only the top team from each group will earn direct qualification to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, joining hosts Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The two best second-place finishers will advance to an intercontinental playoff.
