Ep. 12: The Rise of the Reggae Girlz

Jamaican football is making history on the world stage. Whilst their new kit with adidas – designed in collaboration with Wales Bonner – represents a groundbreaking cultural moment, we shouldn’t forget how the women’s national team is making history on the pitch. After becoming the first Caribbean nation to qualify for a Women’s World Cup in 2019, the Reggae Girlz are going back-to-back with an appearance at the WC in Australia and New Zealand later this year. These ballers are showing the world how to dream. As part of adidas’ Club Jamaica event to celebrate the launch of the new JFF collection, VERSUS hosted a live episode of ‘The Future of Football’ to discuss the importance of Jamaican culture and how the Reggae Girlz are inspiring a nation. Mayowa Quadri is joined by Pippa Monique, James Lewis and Crystal Davis in this special conversation. *At the time of recording, Jamaica remained the only Caribbean team to qualify for the World Cup but are now joined by Haiti after thier qualification via the play-offs*
