Reggae Girlz to rematch with Brazil in two friendly matches in June

The Reggae Girlz, Jamaica’s women football team, are preparing for two friendly matches against South American powerhouse, Brazil. These matches are scheduled for June 1 and June 4 and will be held in Recife and Salvador, respectively. This announcement was confirmed by the Jamaica Football Federation.

The friendly internationals have come up during the upcoming FIFA match window, which is an exciting opportunity for both teams as they prepare for major tournaments. Brazil is mainly utilizing these games as their final preparation for the prestigious Paris Olympic Games, due to occur this summer.

For the Reggae Girlz, the games against Brazil hold great value. They are seen as a chance to hone their skills and measure themselves against one of the top-class teams in women’s football. Jamaica made history by qualifying for the second round of the FIFA Women’s World Cup last year and they are excited to continue growing their presence on the global football scene.

Senior members of the Reggae Girlz who played at the World Cup are expected to be recalled for these games. Their 0-0 draw against Brazil at the World Cup showed the team’s resilience and competitiveness. Facing Brazil again gives the Jamaica team an opportunity to replicate its strong performance and continue establishing its place in women’s football.

Brazil icon Marta has made her final Women’s World Cup appearance after Jamaica hung on for a 0-0 draw to knock the South Americans out of the tournament. After losing 2-1 to France, Brazil needed to defeat Jamaica at AAMI Park in Melbourne on Wednesday night to progress to the knockout stage.

However, the Reggae Girlz defended grimly to secure their second 0-0 result of the group stage, after also drawing with France, to book their place in the round of 16 for the first time

While both teams are eager to fine-tune their strategies and make a statement, these friendlies promise to be exciting and competitive encounters.
