Jamaica’s Reggae Girlz will begin their journey toward the 2026 Concacaf Women’s Championship and the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil in Group B, following Wednesday’s official draw in Miami.

The draw, which took place on Wednesday in Miami, placed Jamaica—one of six pre-seeded teams—alongside Guyana, Nicaragua, Dominica, and Antigua and Barbuda. The first round of matches will be played between November 2025 and April 2026, with each team contesting four games: two at home and two away.

The winners from each of the six groups will advance to the Concacaf Women’s Championship in November 2026, joining regional powerhouses USA and Canada, who received automatic byes. That tournament will double as both the World Cup qualifier and Olympic qualifier for the confederation.

At the championship, the semi-finalists will book their tickets to Brazil 2027, while the two finalists will also clinch qualification for the 2028 Olympics.

The Reggae Girlz, who made history with back-to-back World Cup appearances in 2019 and 2023, will be aiming to build on that momentum as they chase back-to-back World Cup appearances and a maiden Olympic berth.
