Unity Cup 2026: Full squad lists of all four nations

Blue Tigers will make their Unity Cup debut in London

The Valley Stadium in South East London is gearing up to host four countries with some of the biggest diasporas in the United Kingdom. Two teams from Africa and one team each from Asia and America are all set to compete in the fourth edition of Unity Cup 2026.

This will be a great opportunity for all these teams to leave an incredible mark after failing to qualify for the FIFA World Cup. Jamaica and Nigeria were just a win away whereas the Indian team led by Khalid Jamil will be eyeing to bounce back after failing to even qualify for the AFC Asian Cup 2027.

Ahead of the big games, teams have announced their squads. Players who compete in top European leagues like the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga and Bundesliga have also made it to their respective national team squads and will be leaving no stone unturned to return home with top silverwares.

Nigeria are the most successful team in Unity Cup history, winning all of the last three editions. Jamaica did came close after dragging the finals of Unity Cup 2025 to penalties.

The defending champions will kickstart their campaign against their African counterpart, Zimbabwe. In the second semi, India will lock horns with reigning finalists Jamaica. The winners will advance to the finals, whereas the losers will compete for the bronze medal.
