Cedella Marley – Championing Jamaican Women’s Soccer Team in World Cup:
Cedella Marley, daughter of the iconic reggae legend Bob Marley, is proving her prowess on and off the stage.
Despite her strong music background, Cedella has taken the reins as the leader of the Jamaican women’s soccer team, guiding them to their second appearance in the World Cup.
Cedella is an established Jamaican singer. Her passion for soccer led her to support and revitalize the disbanded Jamaica women’s national football team in 2014.
Through her efforts and the support of the Bob Marley Foundation, she helped reform the team and provided funding for their journey to the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Cedella’s involvement with soccer is deeply rooted in her father’s legacy.
Alongside her siblings, she was part of the band Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, which won three Grammy awards.
Today, she serves as the acting director of the Bob Marley Foundation, driving social interventions and community development initiatives in Jamaica.
Beyond music and sports, Cedella is also an entrepreneur and philanthropist.
She runs clothing lines and designed the uniform for the Jamaican track and field team at the 2012 Olympics. Moreover, she is the CEO of Tuff Gong International, her father’s recording label, and actively contributes to the family’s charitable organization, 1Love.
With her dedication to women’s rights and love for soccer, Cedella has become a driving force in supporting the Jamaican women’s national football team.
She initiated “Football is Freedom” to raise funds for the team’s expenses, training camps, and uniforms.
Her relentless efforts resulted in Jamaica’s qualification for the 2019 Women’s World Cup, marking a historic moment for the Caribbean country.
Cedella’s unwavering determination has brought her team to the 2023 Women’s World Cup in Australia-New Zealand.
As she continues to use her influence and connections to drive positive change, Cedella Marley remains an inspiration on and off the field.
