Jamaica Football Federation Pays Women's World Cup Squad After Player Boycott

Payment follows protest over delayed funds and claimed "constant mistreatment," with players alleging they discovered coaching changes via social media and were not fully compensated for World Cup participation.

  • The Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) has confirmed that it has completed payment to the Women's World Cup squad, following a player boycott due to alleged 'constant mistreatment' and delayed funds.
  • The boycott, announced last week, was a response to the women's team's claims that they had not received full pay for their World Cup performances or their qualifying bonuses.
  • The dispute brought public attention to the team's accusation that they were not informed about coaching changes, but had to learn about it via social media.
  • Despite the turmoil, the Jamaican women's team made history by reaching the World Cup knockout stages for the first time, with key players even playing in the Women's Super League.
  • In addition to settling the World Cup squad's dues, the JFF also said it will start processing payments for players who took part in the qualifying matches but did not participate in the tournament itself.
