Jamaica Football Federation names 20-man squad for CFU matches

By CNW Reporter

The Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) has named a 20-man squad for games in the Scotia Bank Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Caribbean Cup Round Three. Prepared by Interim Head Coach Theodore “Tappa” Whitmore, former coach and national player, and Assistant Jerome Waite after head coach Winfried Schaefer was fired following Jamaica’s catastrophic FIFA World Cup record which ended with back-to-back losses against Panama and Haiti. Both coaches were named after veteran coach Carl Brown was offered and turned down the job earlier this week.
