Jamaica Football Federation

The Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) is the governing body of association football in Jamaica and is in charge of the Jamaica national football team and the Jamaican football league system, including the Jamaica Premier League.

History
Early history (1893–1962) According to the JFF, the Football Association was formed in 1910 and controlled all games in Jamaica. In 1925, Jamaica's national team had its first international match against Haiti and won all three games 1–0, 2–1, and 3–0. The Haitians remained frequent opponents, and it was not until 1932 that their run of defeats was broken with a 4–1 home win in Port-au-Prince. From 1925 to 1962, Jamaica had regular games with teams from Trinidad and Tobago, Haiti, and Cuba, as well as with clubs like the Haitian Racing CH and Violette AC, the British Corinthians, and the Argentinean Tigers. Noted Jamaican players included Lindy Delapenha and Gillie Heron. Jamaica had only a few remaining players from its previous World Cup team and had to rebuild because most of its players had retired or migrated abroad. == Presidents ==
