Encyclopedia : J : JA : JAM : Jamaica national football team
The Jamaica national football team, or The Reggae Boyz, is the national team of Jamaica and is controlled by the Jamaica Football Federation. After decades in CONCACAF obscurity, they gained many fans throughout the world after they qualified for the 1998 World Cup, with a squad dubbed "The Reggae Boyz" by many journalists. Many of the most successful Jamaican players come from England, whether Jamaican-born or qualifying through ancestry.
Jamaica won the Caribbean Cup three times: in 1991, 1998, and 2005, and finished second twice.
