Jamaica's National Senior Women's team will enter the World Cup Qualifying journey when the  CONCACAF Caribbean Women's Qualifiers begin in May 2018.

Experienced coaches Hue Menzies and Lorne Donaldson will continue to be the Head Coach and Assistant Coach respectively of the team. Arising out of a meeting held on Wednesday, February 28th the JFF has appointed Andrew Price as an Assistant Coach with responsibility for the preparation of the local based players who will be part of the squad for the tournament. The three coaches working with the Director of Football will ensure that the best squad is prepared for the tournament.

President Ricketts charged that all three coaches ensure that at all times the best team should represent the country and that the development and exposure of local players must be ensured.
