Dominica Falls to Jamaica in Tough CONCACAF W Qualifier

In a display of overwhelming offensive firepower, Jamaica’s national women’s football team commenced their 2025–2026 CONCACAF Women’s Championship qualifying campaign with a resounding 18–0 victory over Dominica on Saturday. The match, held at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground in Gros Islet, St. Lucia, saw the Reggae Girlz establish their dominance from the opening whistle against the Sisserou Girls.

The Jamaican squad, building on their impressive performance from the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, demonstrated superior technical skill, tactical coordination, and finishing ability throughout the contest. The lopsided scoreline underscores the growing competitive disparity within the CONCACAF region as established programs continue to develop at an accelerated pace.

For Dominica’s Senior Women’s National Team, the match presented formidable challenges against one of the region’s strongest sides. Despite the difficult outcome, participation in high-level competition provides valuable experience for developing football programs. The qualifier serves as preliminary competition for both the 2024 Women’s Gold Cup and the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup, highlighting the long-term development pathway for CONCACAF nations.

The result positions Jamaica favorably in Group C as they pursue qualification for upcoming international tournaments, while Dominica will look to regroup and identify areas for improvement throughout the remainder of their qualifying campaign.
