Jamaica's women's football team are set for their first World Cup tournament, as the competition kicks off in France this weekend.
Known as the Reggae Girlz, the small island nation team will play football giants Brazil on Sunday afternoon.
It's the first time a team from the Caribbean has reached the tournament, a mere 20 years after Jamaica's only appearance in the men's competition.
Getting to the World Cup hasn't been an easy ride for the team.
In the past 10 years, the squad has been disbanded twice and had its funding cut.
But a saving grace came when the family of one of Jamaica's best known exports, Bob Marley, started supporting the team financially - ensuring its ongoing role on the country's pitches.
Jamaica are now hopeful of success in France despite being the lowest ranked team in the tournament.
