For the first time in its history, the entire Caribbean island of Hispaniola has qualified for a major tournament.
Both Haiti 🇭🇹 and the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴, who share the island, will participate in next year’s Gold Cup.
Shared island qualification has happened in three other places only three other times:
The island of New Guinea this year (2024), where Indonesia 🇮🇩 (Asian Cup) and Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 (Nations Cup) share borders, although in two separate confederations.
The Emerald Isle, where both Ireland 🇮🇪 and Northern Ireland qualified for EURO 2016.
The UK with Wales 🏴, England 🏴, and Scotland 🏴 in the 1958 FIFA World Cup.
🇸🇲’s Nations League campaign:
- Their first win in 20 years
- Their first ever competitive win
- Their biggest win ever
- Their first ever comeback win
- THEIR FIRST PROMOTION TO THE NATIONS LEAGUE C
What a time to be alive.

🇯🇲 Despite now playing in the third-tier in the UAE, Ravel Morrison has earned a late call-up to Steve McLaren’s Jamaica squad for the second leg of their CONCACAF Nations League against USA tonight.
The 31-year-old has scored two goals in three games for Precision FC.

Been banging this drum for ages.
It's only England where non-league and PL are (mostly) competing against each other for viewers.
In Spain and Germany they're deliberately scheduled separately to help smaller clubs.
