News Americas, MELBOURNE, Australia, Weds. Aug. 2, 2023: Jamaica Reggae Girlz made history today as they tied a match 0-0 with Brazil to advance to the knockouts after the FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023 Group F match in Melbourne, Australia.  Brazil finished third in the group.

The result, coupled with the other Group F game between France and Panama, meant the Girlz advanced as runner-up and will face the winner of Group H in the next round.

“Just to see these girls and to see a country like Jamaica be able to do this, it’s unbelievable to just watch it while I’m alive right here standing,” Jamaica coach Lorne Donaldson said in his post-match interview.
“It’s unbelievable. I thank the girls for doing this for the country and the country should be proud. I need a cup of beer and I’m good. I’m not a big drinker. I will enjoy.”
