Sport Minister Olivia Grange, said she is grateful that the Costa Rican authorities have issued emergency visas for national senior football representatives Kemar Lawrence and Norman Campbell ahead of today’s World Cup qualification match.
Lawrence and Campbell were denied entry into Costa Rica because they didn’t have the required documents and were not allowed to leave the airport with the rest of the team.
The matter was reported to Minister Grange who quickly made the necessary contact with the authorities who allowed the players to enter the country.
Jamaica will face Costa Rica this evening in the Final Round of the Concacaf World Cup qualification for Qatar 2022.
