Ten players from Jamaican (soccer) club denied entry to US [View all]
Ten players from Jamaican side Mount Pleasant have been denied a visa to enter the United States for Wednesday's Concacaf Champions Cup tie against LA Galaxy.
Mount Pleasant, winners of the 2025 Concacaf Caribbean Cup, are set to make their Champions Cup debut against Galaxy at the Dignity Health Sports Park in California.
The Jamaican side have been forced to call up a number of academy players for the fixture.
"We don't want to just show up for the game, we want to be able to compete, but we are not being given the opportunity to be at our best," Mount Pleasant sporting director Paul Christie told the Jamaica Observer.
Mount Pleasant's squad includes seven players from the Caribbean island nation of Haiti.
United States President Donald Trump expanded a travel ban that came into force on 1 January, which bars Haiti nationals from entering the US.
