Turin, Italy - The Jamaica Football Federation (JFF), through its president Captain Horace Burrell, yesterday inked a lucrative US$1.77 million two-year sponsorship deal with Italian sporting manufacturing company, Kappa, at the company's headquarters here in Turin.

The deal, the biggest ever in the history of the Jamaican football programme, includes a signing fee, cash incentives dependent on qualification to the World Cup and CONCACAF Gold Cup, bags, apparel, footwear, etc for all nine men's and women's teams. Kappa has the option to renew after 2010.

"This has been the most attractive deal that we have ever had and I am grateful," beamed Captain Burrell shortly after signing on the dotted line.

Job well done Reid & Burrell

Still a lot of work to do to overcome the dunce leadership of Crenston Boxhill, Rudolph Speid & Burchel Gibson. I would not trust those three illiterates with managing a patty shop!

Now we see what a properly operating federation cad do. These are all good steps that have been made.

Unfortunately, all these may still not be enough for qualification to South Africa. We need so much more improvement in the football arena.

The previous JFF administration has so massively damaged the federation and Jamaican football. Much more time needed to repair the damages.

Respect.

The Captain is back...the real JFF manager is back!

Why?

I also thought commonsense would have won the day...but emotions did. The Captain, I was told, rubbed too many the wrong way.

Congrats Mr. Burrell, as Junior Demus say, Bwoy a bwoy and Big man a big man.

Good luck with FIFA today and Virgin Atlantic tomorrow.

Looks like the Gleaner knew about it from long time!

What is wrong with this report?
Jamaica could face Argentina in friendly int’l Tuesday, 12 February 2008 There is news that Jamaica may oppose two time World Cup champions in a friendly international in the United Kingdom in May.

This would precede the return friendly against Trinidad and Tobago in Port of Spain on June 7.

The Reggae Boyz will first host the Soca Warriors in on March 26.

Another friendly could also be arranged before Jamaica opens their CONCACAF qualifying campaign against either the Bahamas or the US Virgin Island on June 7.
