JAMAICA Football Federation (JFF) President Michael Ricketts believes the Reggae Girlz are well-placed to produce their best showing at the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games due to the significant improvement in women’s football locally.

The national senior women’s team is set to depart the island in the coming days, as they compete in the 2026 edition in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, from July 29 to August 7.

Jamaica have yet to progress beyond the group stage since women’s football was introduced at the CAC Games, suffering first-round exits in Colombia in 2018 and Mexico in 2023. Across those two tournaments, the Reggae Girlz won just one of six matches and conceded 18 goals.
