The Jamaica Football Federation has announced it has now paid members of their Women’s World Cup squad in full following a payment dispute.
The Reggae Girlz announced last week they would boycott Gold Cup qualifiers amidst the dispute.
Players alleged they were ‘yet to receive full and correct payments for our historical performances at the World Cup’ and ‘numerous outstanding bonuses for qualifying in the summer of 2022.’
Jamaica were forced to call up an inexperienced squad for the qualifiers, with the nation losing 2-1 to Panama on Wednesday.
