Jamaica’s senior women’s football team has been drawn in Group “B” 2025/26 Concacaf Women’s Qualifiers, the preliminary stage of the 2026 Concacaf Championship.

The Reggae Girlz will be joined by, Guyana, Nicaragua, Dominica, Antigua and Barbuda.

The Championship will be played in November 2026 and serve as the Confederation’s qualifier for the FIFA Women’s World Cup Brazil 2027 and the 2028 LA Summer Olympics.

The eight teams participating in the five-round direct elimination knockout-style competition will include the United States and Canada, and the six group winners of the Qualifiers.

The competition will begin with the Quarterfinals, followed by a Play-In, Semifinals, Third-Place Match, and Final.

To determine the Quarterfinal pairings and each team’s path to the Final, Concacaf will rank teams 1-8 based on the FIFA Women’s Rankings, with the highest-ranked team facing the lowest-ranked team.

At the conclusion of the Quarterfinals, the four matchup winners will qualify for the Semifinals and guarantee their place in the FIFA Women’s World Cup Brazil 2027.

However, the four losers will progress to a Play-In, from where the 2 winning teams will each battle for a spot in the FIFA Women’s World Cup Intercontinental Play Off.

The Championship finalists will also secure a berth in the 2028 LA Summer Olympics Games Women’s Football Tournament.

Should the United States finish as one of the two Championship finalists, then Concacaf’s second berth will be awarded to the competition’s third-place winner.
