KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC—The Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) is set to receive a significant financial boost following FIFA’s decision to officially remove its restrictions on the island’s governing body.
The restrictions were imposed in 2020 as FIFA oversaw reforms to the JFF’s governance and financial structures.
Under these constraints, the JFF received limited funding, with disbursements made in smaller increments. According to reports, FIFA lifted the restrictions on Monday, paving the way for the JFF to access additional funding from the global football body.
The JFF currently receives US$1 million (approximately J$156.3 million) annually and additional project funding from FIFA. Still, it is now set to gain more excellent economic support from the organization after addressing and improving several governance issues that led to the restrictions being enforced.
When contacted on Tuesday, JFF General Secretary Dennis Chung declined to comment. However, the JFF has scheduled a virtual press conference for Wednesday, during which Chung is expected to address the issue and confirm the development.
In January, Chung indicated that he was confident that the JFF would satisfy FIFA’s requirements, leading to the easing of restrictions while underlining the importance of accessing the additional funding.
