JFF Women’s Committee Chair Urges Release of Promised League Funding

Elaine Walker-Brown, chairman of Jamaica Football Federation Women’s Committee, believes the lack of payment that was promised by the government to the clubs participating in the Jamaica Women’s Premier League is stifling the growth of the game on local soil.

At the launch of the competition the government had promised a payment of one-hundred-thousand dollars for the five months of the league to each of the participating eleven clubs. 

According to Walker-Brown, with the local female league still at the embryonic stage funding is paramount to sustaining the life of the sport.
