Jamaicans filled the National Stadium recently to cheer on the Reggae Boyz in the quest to make it to the World Cup of 2018, to be held in Russia. Jamaica is attempting to replicate the accomplishment of 1998 when the country qualified for the World Cup held in France. The Caribbean nation failed to qualify in 2002, 2006, 2010 and 2014.
Even though the national team qualified in 1998, there has always been a fierce debate as to what extent the team selected should comprise players developed in Jamaica or players of Jamaican heritage recruited from the United Kingdom.
