Women's football in Jamaica

For more in depth, albeit general information see Football in Jamaica.

Women's football in Jamaica was first introduced to the Island in the 1960s.[1] The sport grew in popularity forming leagues.[2]

Many women face prejudice and stigma for playing the game.[3]

Towards the end of 2010's the Jamaican Football Federation scrapped the women's programme.[4]

In 2011 $33 million was spent on the women's youth development.[5][6]
