The Jamaica Football Federation has released a statement condemning the reported racial abuse online of national senior women’s player, Trudi Carter.
Carter was reportedly the subject of racial abuse on Instagram following the Reggae Girlz’ 4-0 defeat of Caribbean neighbours Haiti in the Concacaf Women’s Championship.
“The Jamaica Football Federation would like to reiterate in no uncertain manner that there is no place for racism, discrimination or abuse within or outside the game of football,” the JFF said.

The JFF said Concacaf is aware of the reported abuse of Carter.
Carter was the scorer of the opening goal in the win that qualified Jamaica for the 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
