Jamaica’s Women’s World Cup team has announced a drastic stance against the Jamaica Football Federation over a dispute for alleged nonpayment and poor management. The team, led by striker Khadija Shaw and captain Allyson Swaby, will not be representing their country in upcoming international competition, slated to begin on October 25.
In a statement, the players outlined what they feel is mistreatment from the federation and expressed their great disappointment in not being able to participate in the first-ever Women’s Gold Cup Qualifiers. They see this drastic stance as necessary to put an end to the mistreatment they have received.
The team also pointed to the lack of pertinent information regarding coaching, medical, and equipment staff in a timely fashion, as well as the failure to receive full and correct payments for historical performances, such as qualifying for the World Cup.
In response, the Jamaica Football Federation offered its take on the matter and suspended the selection of the players in question to represent the country. The organization expressed its eagerness to clear up any concerns the team may have and said that any grievances must be documented to the JFF.
The team’s stance is understandable, considering the history they have made this year by becoming the first-ever Caribbean nation to advance to the knockout phase of the tournament. It is now up to the Jamaica Football Federation to address the team’s concerns in order to ensure that this historic squad is able to represent their country in international competition.
