EL PASO, Texas - El Paso Locomotive FC goalkeeper Jahmali Waite was named to the 25-man roster for Jamaica for a pair of CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying matches in early September, the club announced today.
Waite has appeared in 15 matches for the Reggae Boyz and has kept six clean sheets. He started all three matches in last summer's Copa América while also appearing in a CONCACAF Gold Cup fixture back in 2023 in a 5-0 victory against St. Kitts and Nevis.
