EL PASO, Texas (June 3, 2025) – El Paso Locomotive FC goalkeeper Jahmali Waite has been called up for a pair of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying matches and the 2025 Gold Cup, the club announced today. His absence from the club will begin May 27 and run until the team is through with Gold Cup play.
Waite has appeared in 15 matches for the Reggae Boyz and has kept six clean sheets. He started all three matches in last summer’s Copa América while also appearing in a CONCACAF Gold Cup fixture back in 2023 in a 5-0 victory against St. Kitts and Nevis.
Across ten matches this season, Waite has compiled 31 saves including 22 over his last four matches. He is currently sitting on back-to-back save of the week honors in the USL Chmapionship.
The Jamaican national team have compiled top four finishes in four of the previous five editions of the Gold Cup. They hope to build momentum in their quest for their second ever World Cup qualification next summer. They find themselves in Group C with Guatemala, Guadeloupe and Panama.
Waite will be unavailable for El Paso Locomotive FC’s upcoming matches against Colorado Springs Switchbacks (May 31), Oakland Roots SC (June 7), Orange County SC (June 14) and Monterey Bay FC (June 21) with his availability against San Antonio FC (July 4) dependent on the team’s success in the Gold Cup.
