Reggae girls strike in 2023 was due to compensation owed to a handful of players ?
Jamaica’s Reggae Girls who made themselves unavailable to represent the country after a successful 2023 World Cup campaign, made the decision on the basis of being owed US 2 thousand dollars by the Jamaica Football Federation.
This was revealed by the Fifpro, the world players union which has been representing the Reggae girls in their deliberations with the JFF since November last year.
This comes after nine players were over-payed 1800 dollars by the JFF who has indicated since last december that they had completed all payments to the national players.
It has been revealed that this 2 thousand dollars is owed to just three players…………. and includes incidentals among which are baggage fees.
The JFF is said to have also overpaid the reggae girls some 2 million 46 thousand dollars during the campaign leading up to the 2023 FIFA Womens World Cup in Argentina and New Zealand.
The action taken by the reggae girls resulted in jamaica failing to qualify for the inaugural Concacaf Women’s Gold Cup which is at the semi-final stage in the USA.
