KINGSTON, Jamaica—The Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) has officially announced the appointment of Gregory Daley as its new General Secretary, filling a crucial leadership vacancy that had persisted since May. The announcement came through an official statement released by the federation on Monday.
Mr. Daley, who previously served as a JFF Vice-President and Chairman of its Competitions Committee, assumes the role formerly held by Dennis Chung, who resigned from the position eight months ago. During the interim period following Chung’s departure, Roy Simpson, the General Manager of the senior men’s national team, had been performing the duties of the general secretary on an acting basis.
In a related organizational reshuffle, Omar McFarlane, who had been serving as the Acting General Manager for the latter part of 2025, has been formally appointed as the Federation’s Operations Manager. JFF President Michael Ricketts expressed strong confidence in both appointments, stating, ‘I would like to personally welcome Gregory into this capacity. He brings a wealth of knowledge and vast experience in football administration, and I’m very confident in his abilities.’ Regarding Mr. McFarlane, Ricketts added, ‘He has been a great addition to the federation, and we are looking forward to him continuing the great work he has been doing.’
Concurrently, the St James Football Association, which Mr. Daley previously presided over, has also undergone a leadership transition. A separate release confirmed that Gavin McNeil has been named the interim President of the St James FA. Furthermore, Marvin Peterkin has been appointed as the new Chairman of the competitions committee for the regional association, ensuring continuity in its administrative functions.
