Police advise of security restrictions for Reggae Girlz match

The police have advised of several restrictions for patrons attending the Concacaf W Qualifier between the Reggae Girlz and Antigua and Barbuda at the National Stadium this evening.

The police say no weapons, selfie sticks, fireworks, flame-creating devices, large igloos, umbrellas with metal tips, alcoholic beverages or bottles of any kind will be permitted inside the venue.

All persons entering the stadium will be subjected to a search.

They also say no vending will be tolerated outside the approved zones.

The police are further advising licensed firearm holders to make arrangements for the safekeeping of their firearms. No provisions will be made at the venue or at the Stadium Police Station, a release from the Corporate Communications Unit of the Jamaica Constabulary Force said.

Additionally, it stated that these persons are also being warned against leaving firearms in their vehicles, as this is a dangerous practice which may amount to breaches of the Firearms (Prohibition, Restriction and Regulations) Act.

The Girlz will take to the field as overwhelming favourites against Antigua with kick-off set for 7 p.m.

It will be the first of the two W Qualifiers in the April window as the Girlz will also face Guyana at the National Stadium on April 18.

Today’s game will mark the first time the Girlz will be playing at home since December 2024.
