The stage is set for a thrilling football spectacle as the Super Eagles of Nigeria take on the Reggae Boyz of Jamaica in the final of the Unity Cup 2025.
The highly anticipated clash will unfold at the GTech Community Stadium in Brentford, London, on Saturday, May 31, with kickoff scheduled for 7:45 PM.
The Reggae Boyz stormed to a 2-0 lead, only to see the Soca Warriors claw back to level terms. But in dramatic fashion, Richard King netted a stoppage-time penalty to seal the win for Jamaica, underlining their fighting spirit and composure under pressure.
Nigeria, meanwhile, edged out perennial rivals Ghana in a tense 2-1 victory on May 28 in what was dubbed the “Jollof Derby.”
The Super Eagles took control early, with Cyriel Dessers opening the scoring before a Ghanaian own goal gave Nigeria a 2-0 cushion. Although Ghana pulled one back in the second half, Nigeria held firm to punch their ticket to the final.
