West African giants, Ghana and Nigeria, as well as Carribean neighbors, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobego will all converge in London in May 2025 to compete for the Unity Cup. It will be a time to reignite the rivalry between two teams each, where we witness Ghana face off against long time rivals, Nigeria in what is dubbed “The Jollof Derby,” a blistering semi-final encounter that will see one of the two West African big wigs advancing to the final to face off with the winner between Carribean rivals, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobego.

The first semi-final game which comes of on Tuesday, May 27 will witness the first-ever TriniJam clash in UK as the Soca Warriors of Trinidad and Tobago take on the Reggae Boyz of Jamaica to claim bragging rights in the West Indies.

On Wednesday May 28, the second semifinal games comes off when The Black Stars of Ghana battle it out against The Super Eagles of Nigeria to determine who is superior in the game when it comes to West African subregion.

The four teams are scheduled to play again on the final day, Saturday, May 31, in a double-header in a two-game decider for who will be crowned victors and champions of the tourney as well as the side to pick the third-place spot to take home the bronze medal.

Two-time Unity Cup winners, Nigeria may begin as favorites given their FIFA ranking and recent performances. However, the narrative always changes as form will always be redundant whenever they play against their West African rivals Ghana, who will be returning to London, where they previously inflicted a 4-1 dispelling of the Super Eagles in 2007.

Jamaica will also come to the tournament with old scores to settle, having lost by a solitary goal.

Ahead of the game, Rotimi Pedro of AfroSport, the organizers of the event, stated, "I am proud to announce that The Unity Cup is back. It has been a long road to revive this important community event, and we are happy that fans of African and Caribbean football will get to see international football of the highest caliber at The Unity Cup 2025."

Andy Howes, Co-Director of AfroSport, added, "The Unity Cup is a tournament that really does evoke the often-used phrase 'an event that goes beyond sport.' But with the array of elite stars and the profile of the teams involved, this event is not only important in terms of its cultural significance but also reflects the growing commercial importance of African and Caribbean football, as well as the growing demographic of black football fans within English football."
