According to information posted on the CONCACAF website, www.concacaf.com, the opening match on February 6 will kick off 9:30 p.m. at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City while on March 22 at the National Stadium kick off is set for 8:30 p.m.

Four days later, on March 26, the Reggae Boyz will play away to Costa Rica at the Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica in San Jose. Kick off time for that match is 9:00 p.m. The start times for the remaining qualifiers have not yet been posted. (Note: The times listed above are Jamaica).

Meanwhile in Montego Bay earlier today national head coach Theodore Whitmore said that it is now time to embrace "a common goal" as Jamaica's Reggae Boyz begin final preparations for their opening game.

Whitmore, who knows a lot about playing in Mexican conditions used the occasion of the launch of the Sandals/ATL St James FA Senior League to call for more support for the players.
