Mexico launches its 2024 Copa América campaign with a CONCACAF-only clash against Jamaica in Houston.
El Tri enters the first game of Group B after losing four of its last three games, including consecutive friendlies against Uruguay and Brazil heading into the tournament.
Jaime Lozano’s team remains a big favorite heading into this match, as they face a nation whose record in the Cup indicates six games played and six losses after previous appearances in 2015 and 2016.
Jamaica is without star attacker Leon Bailey, who opted to miss the tournament despite being called up, although head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson has a track record of pulling off big upsets with relative minnows.
Hallgrimsson’s Icelandic team defeated England to reach the quarter-finals of Euro 2016 and also achieved draws in major tournaments against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal and Lionel Messi’s Argentina.

Mexico vs. Jamaica live updates, Euro 2024 highlights
1 hour 45 minutes to kick: Jamaica has a history of frustrating Mexico lately. Mexico won 14 of the first 16 games between these two teams, but in the last 12 meetings since 2008, the Reggae Boyz have performed relatively well. They won two games in that period and drew four more, including a surprising 1-0 draw in the 2017 Gold Cup semi-finals, as well as draws in both 2022/23 Nations League group matches.
Jamaica suffered a 3-0 defeat the last time they met in the semi-finals of the 2023 Gold Cup, can they get revenge on a Mexico team struggling for form?

Lineups Mexico vs. Jamaica, team news, starting 11
West Ham midfielder Edson Alvarez He will be the captain of Mexico, and Jaime Lozano is expected to line up the young man from Feyenoord Santiago Gimenez in attack.
There is a lack of proven international scorers in the Tri squad, which means that Uriel Antuna (13 goals in 61 international matches) has an important role as a complement to Giménez.
Mexico’s predicted lineup (4-3-3): J. González (GK) – J. Sánchez, Montes, Vásquez, Arteaga – Pineda, Álvarez, Chávez – Antuna, Giménez, Quiñones.
Subs from Mexico (maximum 15): The matchday squad is published one hour before the start of the match
Jamaica is left without the Aston Villa winger Leon Baileywho chose not to play in the Copa América despite being called up while his dispute with the Jamaican Football Federation continues.
“In this case, he [Bailey] decided not to play for Jamaica,” coach Heimir Hallgrimsson said last week. “That is his decision and every player has the right to refuse to play for his nation. He chose to do that and that’s the end of the story for me, absolutely the end of the story. “Now, I would just like everyone to focus on those players who want to play for Jamaica, and let’s put our support and focus on those players.”
West Ham’s michail antonio and Fulham Bobby Decordova-Reid This means there is likely to still be a strong Premier League flavor in the forward line.
Jamaica Predicted Lineup (3-4-3): Blake (GK) – Lowe, Hector, Bernard – Latibeaudiere, Palmer, Johnson, Anderson – Decordova-Reid, Antonio, Gray.
