Jamaica's appearance at the 1998 World Cup in France remains the proudest chapter in Reggae Boyz history — the nation's first and, to date, only appearance at the finals.

Drawn in Group H with Croatia, Argentina and Japan, René Simões' side bowed out at the group stage but signed off in style, beating Japan 2-1 in their final match. Theodore "Tappa" Whitmore scored both goals to give Jamaica a famous victory on the world's biggest stage.

Nearly three decades on, France '98 still inspires — a reminder of what the Reggae Boyz can achieve, and the standard a new generation is chasing.
