Jamaica’s Reggae Boyz have been invited to play a friendly football international against China on the next FIFA date of August 10.
Officials from Jamaica and China have agreed for the two to meet in the city of Hefei, China.
The game will be the first for the Reggae Boyz since the Gold Cup tournament in the United States last month.
Jamaica were knocked out at the quarter-final stage at the Gold Cup by the United States, who won the contest 2-nil.
The Jamaicans, rated Number 1 in the Caribbean, have a world ranking of 38 on FIFA’s list, while the Chinese are 75th.
