JFF Names Senior Reggae Girlz Squad for Key Friendlies Against Chile
Amidst persistent challenges and unresolved disputes, the Jamaica Football Federation has unveiled a 22-player roster for two crucial international friendly matches against Chile on February 23 and 27.
Notably absent from the squad are key senior first-team players, who continue to abstain due to ongoing issues with the federation, primarily concerning unpaid fees and related grievances.

The delegation, comprising both local officials and SWNT (Senior Women’s National Team) players, is set to depart from Jamaica on Tuesday, February 20.
Arriving in Chile a day later, the team is brimming with determination and unity.

The coaching and support staff also include physiotherapist Ashley Stephens, masseur Devin Lawson, GK Coach Everdean Scarlet, equipment manager Omar Folkes, and trainer Leacroft Lettman.
