Jamaican football, explained

From the Reggae Boyz and Reggae Girlz to the Premier League, schoolboy classics and the World Cup — here's the whole Jamaican game in one place, with links to dig into each part.

Football is woven into Jamaican life. The national teams — the Reggae Boyz (men) and Reggae Girlz (women) — carry the flag on the world stage, governed by the Jamaica Football Federation. Beneath them sits a vibrant domestic game: the professional Jamaica Premier League, and the fiercely-loved schoolboy and schoolgirl competitions that produce the next generation.
