GEORGE TOWN, Cay- man Islands, CMC- CONCACAF president Jeffrey Webb says he is confident the success of women’s football in North America and Mexico can spread to the Caribbean and Central America.
While the United States have been creditedfor creating a global model for success, Canada and Mexico have consistently established strong programmes.
Webb was speaking at the start of the launch of the 2014 CONCACAF Women’s Under-20 Championship underway in the Cayman Islands.
“We must raise standards so that we keep challenging teams in women’s football,” said Webb.
“This is how we progress and provide sustainability of programmes.”
Jamaica has demonstrated robust progress, hosting and finishing fourth at the 2013 CONCACAF Women’s Under-17 Championship.
Many of the standouts from that team are on the Reggae Girlz’s current under-20 roster.
