After decades in CONCACAF obscurity, they gained many fans throughout the world after they qualified for the 1998 World Cup. Many of the current Jamaican players come from England, whether Jamaican-born or qualifying through ancestry. Jamaica won the Caribbean Cup three times: in 1991, 1998, and 2005, and finished second twice.
