The director general of the Jamaican Football Federation (FA), Mark Bullingham, recently confirmed that Greenwood had expressed his intention to change allegiance to Jamaica, where he would join the former England coach Steve McClaren. However, the Jamaican Football Federation (JFF) has not yet received the documents necessary for this change, which leaves doubt about the implementation of its decision by Greenwood, reports The Mirror.
The JFF hoped that Greenwood's eligibility would be settled before the qualifications for the 2026 World Cup in June, and the attacker was also considered a potential key player for the CONCACAF GOLD CUP campaign. However, due to delays in the documentation, his participation in these competitions is no longer guaranteed.
Greenwood, major asset
Despite the uncertainty, the Jamaican coach, McClaren, remains optimistic about the total commitment of Greenwood to represent the Caribbean nation. “” We are in permanent contact with him and his family “He said. “I am convinced that he only wants to play for Jamaica. It's up to him to decide when he will. The ball is in his camp. »»
McClaren, who previously worked in Manchester United as deputy coach, took the reins of the Jamaican national team last year. Under its direction, the JFF actively sought players with dual nationality to strengthen the workforce, Greenwood being considered a major asset.
