    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.

    The BBC article doesn't include a word from the club.

    Why don't the Jamaican government just do the same back and refuse visas for the whole of the starting XI of LA Galaxy?

    Because they're an actual, functioning government, probably

    I guess because the restriction seems to be on Haitian individuals and not based upon their occupation. 

    So unless LA Galaxy have nationals from countries restricted in Jamaica it isn’t the same (however much it might not be welcome).

    Does this partnership still exist, or did it end with Methven leaving?

    I’ve not heard about any of their players joining or even training with us since the initial stuff that went on soon after this was announced.
