They were the team that made headlines across the world last year at the FIFA Women's World Cup. Jamaica's Reggae Girlz were the first ever team from the Carribean to qualify for the competition, and wherever they went, they brought the party with them. But it was thanks to the perseverance of one woman that they got there in the first place. Cedella Marley, daughter of reggae legend Bob Marley, invested in the team when their own football federation had pulled the plug. In an exclusive interview with the Fired Up Sport podcast Cedella reveals how lack of funding is still an issue, so she is stepping in to fill the gap. She also throws her support behind US soccer's Megan Rapinoe in her fight to get equal pay for the women's national side. She is a straight talking, hilarious, inspirational tonic and it was our complete honour to t?alk to her on the Fired Up Sport podcast. As Cedella says: "Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight".
