In an effort to improve the skills and competencies of our local players, the Jamaica Football Federation has selected nineteen female footballers between the ages of sixteen and eighteen years old to attend a two-month training programme in China this summer. They will undergo intense technical training which should help with their eventual promotion to national teams. The JFF is pleased with the timing of the venture as it will help to add depth to the national squads and it fits into the short and long term develpoment strategies. They will depart the island at the beginning of June and return at the end of August. This will be the continuation of a programme instituted through a bilateral sporting agreement between Jamaica’s Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sports, and the Asian Republic. Similar contingents went in the two years leading up to the onset of Covid 19, and this will be the first visit since the pandemic. The players were selected after attending multiple training sessions at the UWICHBC for the past three weeks.
