Special Olympics JA
tackled the French 

In July, our Special Olympics Unified Football team copped silver at the Special Olympics Toyota Unified Football Cup division two final in Chicago.

The team fought valiantly, but were clipped by Special Olympics France who took the gold for a 1-0 victory. It was clear that France was bent on achieving another victory just like their World Cup team did.

Still, Jamaica’s team coach, Shane Richards had high praises for the team. He commented, “We defended stoutly, we played with a few niggles and we fought, but the lapse in concentration caused that goal. But there were positives with some players coming out and playing well.”

Next stop? The Special Olympics Games in Abu Dhabi, March 14-21, 2019. Look out for even more impressive performances.
