JFF says monies owed to Reggae Girlz World Cup players have been paid
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) has announced that monies owed to players who participated in this summer’s FIFA Women’s World Cup, have now been paid in full.
In a news release on Friday, the JFF said the organisation will also start processing payments to all players who played in the qualifying rounds but were not in the final World Cup squad.
“We are always grateful for the contribution made by all our players and are happy that we have been able to settle these outstanding amounts,” their statement read. “Our immediate focus is on supporting the Senior Reggae Girlz as they take on Guatemala on Sunday, on the heels of a brave performance last Wednesday.”
The JFF’s decision came following last week’s announcement that the selection of specific players for games against Panama and Guatemala was suspended. In a statement last week, the JFF said some players had concerns regarding their contracts and announced that it had written to members of the Senior Women’s National Team whom they said decided to reject the call up for the Panama, Guatemala matches.
