Jamaica Football Shirts and Jerseys

History of the Jamaican Football Team

In 1925, the Jamaican soccer club played their first international fixtures against Haiti for a three match series, and won all of the games 1-0, 2-1 and 3-0. And following this success they went onto beat them again in 1926 when they hosted the Haiti national club at Sabina Park and won an impressive 6-0. From then on Haiti and Jamaica were to face each other a number of times and soon became common opponents.

Jamaica is the birthplace of Reggae and is home to successful artists such as Bob Marley. And the national team brings this historic fact into their club by adopting the nickname ‘Reggae Boyz’ which can be seen on the rear of the football shirts.

Although the club started off hosting their home football games in the cricket pitches of Sabina Park, the current squad calls their home – Independence Park. This stadium was built in 1962 after Jamaica gained independence which inspired the naming of the venue. Seating over 35 thousand spectators, this stands of this stadium will be full of the signature yellow and green home shirts of Jamaica when they play home fixtures.

Past Achievements

Looking back at the historic achievements of the Jamaican national football team, their most successful tournament has been in the Caribbean Cup. Within this set of games they have acquired and impressive 6 wins from 1991 to 2014. They have also placed second in this tournament three times, and have also been runners up in the CONCACAF Gold Cup in 2015 and 2017.

• CONCACAF Gold Cup Runners Cup – 2015, 2017
• Caribbean Cup Winners – 1991, 1998, 2005, 2008, 2010, 2014

Although this national team has been reasonably successful within the American and Caribbean tournaments, they haven’t fared so well in larger international competitions such as the World Cup. They have only managed to qualify for one tournament which was back in 1988 where they placed 22^nd after being knocked out in the group stages. Other than that season they unfortunately had a mixture of withdrawals due to squads and funding along with their inability to qualify. However, with their latest successes in the Gold cup and the Caribbean Cup, are we expecting to see them taking part in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar?
