FA insist Jamaicans must pay debt

The Football Association have confirmed they will pursue Jamaica for a £135,000 (€168,660) debt, despite the Caribbean country’s FA believing they would write off the sum.

The row is potentially damaging to England’s 2018 World Cup bid as Jamaican FA president Captain Horace Burrell is a close ally of FIFA powerbroker Jack Warner, a vice-president of the world governing body.
