MONTEGO BAY - The Jamaica national football team should be kept busy through the end of the year as a number of internationals have been lined up, says president of the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF), Crenston Boxhill.

Boxhill told the Observer on Sunday that two international friendlies have been lined up for December - one which will be against a European opponent here in Jamaica.
The president did not go into details about the games in December, but said the visiting team would be a "quality opposition". It is understood that the European team took part in the recent FIFA World Cup Finals and is ranked in the top 35 on the latest FIFA rankings. Jamaica are scheduled to play South America's Peru on November 15 at the National Stadium.

When asked whether the JFF would lobby either CONCACAF or CONMEBOL (the South American confederation), for a place in their tournaments as an invited team, Boxhill said the idea was a good one, but one that would have to be discussed with the executive.

Jamaica were knocked out of the first round of the Caribbean Football Union's Digicel Caribbean Cup tournament, thus killing off hopes for the CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament next year.

Boxhill explained that the first priority of the JFF was to secure the services of an internationally-known technical director and said the federation's hope was to secure the signature of the Serbian Velibor 'Bora' Milutinovic.

Asked about plan B should they fail to secure the services of the Serbian-born Milutinovic, Boxhill said the federation had completed a shortlist of coaches they wanted to work with, but presently the focus is on securing the services of Milutinovic.

Both Boxhill and Milutinovic were at Jarrett Park on Sunday to watch the National Premier League fixture between Portmore United and host Wadadah.

I think they should beg even harder. You never know! I cant see CONCACAF "inviting" us to teh Gold Cup...perhaps more liklihood of securing an invitation to the South American tournamnt...but even that is a long shot.

yuh start back to post eh RF i guess you happy JA getting a game

[Coop's]

You know we does laugh at Jamaica Football and put them down etc etc but one thing i can say is that they always trying,weather they win,loose or draw they always have a regular supply of international games,for a non WC qualifying team how do they get games against those big name teams and we can't,we always have to be begging some small team for a game and most times we have to go to their country to play them,i don't think money is our problem or we are not good hosts teams don't like coming home.

yuh start back to post eh RF i guess you happy JA getting a game

Bossman, any little positive news I hear I have to take it and run with it. I'm so pumped right now about us possibly getting Milutinovic to coach us, and pretty pleased that the Jamaica Government has offered up the money to take care of his salary.

Also, cant let you know how elated I am to see us getting at least three quality games between now and the end of the year, with the European teams and Peru..to go along with the recent Canada win.

It might be a case of too little too late though, we are already bumped out of the Gold cup and Caribbean cup.
