Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) President Michael Ricketts remains cautiously optimistic as the Reggae Boyz prepare for their FIFA World Cup 2026 play-off campaign. Following a 0-0 draw with Curaçao, which resulted in Jamaica missing automatic qualification and the resignation of Head Coach Steve McClaren, Ricketts emphasized the need for collective effort and strategic planning. The JFF is set to appoint a new head coach, with an announcement expected after a meeting with the executive committee.
