Liel Abada and Idan Toklomati (Israel), Rodolfo Aloko (Benin) and Andrew Johnson (Saint Vincent and the Grenadines) have been called up by their respective national teams for the November international break.
Abada and Toklomati will try to help Israel climb out of the bottom of Group B3 in the UEFA Nations League to avoid relegation to League C. Israel is three points behind Kosovo and the Republic of Ireland for second and third place and needs a win to catch either country.
Israel can still finish second place in the group, which would put them in the promotion playoffs and could potentially put them in League A with top European footballing countries.
Israel plays Kosovo on Saturday, November 14 at 9:00 a.m. and finishes the group stage with Austria on Tuesday, November 17 at 2:45 p.m.
Aloko and Benin are in a good spot heading into the midway point of the qualifying stage for the African Cup of Nations. Benin leads the group with four points through two matches, with four matches still to be played. Aloko has been a key figure for his country during the qualifying stage, scoring two goals in the latest match against Mauritania.
Benin will play Central African Republic twice during the break before the final set of qualifying matches in March 2027. Benin will start the break with a match against Central African Republic on Thursday, November 12 at 3:00 p.m. before their rematch on Monday, November 16 at 11:00 a.m. If Benin finish top two in their group, they’ll qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations for a second consecutive competition, the second time in the country’s history.
Johnson and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are on the verge of history in the CONCACAF Nations League. Going into the final two matches, Saint Vincent leads the group with 12 points, has a three-point advantage and has clinched a top two spot in the group. Finishing first is the goal for Johnson, as it would earn the country a spot in the Gold Cup for the second time in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines’ history, the first time being in 1996.
To do so, they’ll have to secure four points across the two matches to be out of reach of French Guiana in second. Saint Vincent also plays French Guiana to close out the qualifying matches and, with a win, would secure first and a place in the Gold Cup. First, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines play Belize on Saturday, November 14 at 7:00 p.m. The match against French Guiana takes place on Tuesday, November 17 at 7:00 p.m.
Crown Legacy FC goalkeeper Jahiem Wickham again received a call-up for Trinidad and Tobago. Due to finishing fifth in League A, Group A of the CONCACAF Nations League, Trinidad and Tobago have to play Antigua and Barbuda in a home-and-away leg to see who qualifies for the Gold Cup preliminary round. The first leg is on Thursday, November 12 at 6:00 p.m. and the second leg is on Monday, November 16 at 7:00 p.m.
If Wickham appears in a game, it’ll be his first international cap for Trinidad and Tobago. Wickham appeared in 13 games for Crown Legacy this season, keeping two clean sheets. He was drafted with the 82nd overall pick in the 2026 MLS SuperDraft.
