New Caledonia vs Jamaica: Preview
New Caledonia are as close to the World Cup finals as they’ve ever been. They navigated the Oceania qualifying campaign and went all the way, losing only at the final hurdle against clear favourites New Zealand.
Head coach Johann Sidaner is on the cusp of history. According to the latest FIFA World Rankings, he is two matches away from taking the 150th-best international team in the world to World Cup 2026.
Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Tahiti were defeated along the way. Adding Jamaica and DR Congo to the list is the only remaining route to the tournament proper.

Jamaica, now led on a temporary basis by three-time Jamaica Premier League winner Rudolph Speid, were guided through CONCACAF qualifying by Steve McClaren.
They won all four qualifiers in the first group stage before finishing second to Curacao in the subsequent group. Curacao qualified directly, leaving Jamaica to wade through the play-offs.
DR Congo, whose only previous World Cup appearance came as Zaire in 1974, beat Cameroon and Nigeria to move to within 90 minutes of a shock return. They’ll face the winners of this semi-final next week.
