The latest on the Women's World Cup
Bob Marley instilled a love of soccer in his daughter, Cedella. Now she’s changing the lives of women and girls in JamaicaFootball has consumed much of Cedella Marley’s life. But perhaps that shouldn't come as a surprise.
“Daddy played every day,” Marley told CNN Sport. “He would play anywhere he was: on the road, you’d find a field, you’d find a team.” But that all changed in 2014 when one day her son came home from school and handed her a flier, saying that his soccer coach had asked him to deliver it to her. Six years earlier, in 2008, underfunding had led to the Jamaican Football Federation disbanding the women’s national team program. The flier Marley’s son brought home was a fundraising request from the JFF to help restart the program. Marley got to work almost immediately, calling the federation the following morning to ask what it needed.
