Mason Greenwood’s potential World Cup debut for Jamaica faces hurdles, including his own indecision and resistance from current players over his late commitment.
According to a report from The New York Times, forward Mason Greenwood — once capped by England — is now expected to finalise his eligibility to represent Jamaica national football team, suggesting his international future may lie with Jamaica rather than England national football team.
The report notes that the process of paperwork and clearance needed to declare for Jamaica has advanced, which could make Greenwood a candidate for selection in upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers under the Jamaican flag.
This development adds a fresh chapter to Greenwood’s controversial career: once a budding star at Manchester United, his trajectory was derailed after serious off-field accusations — later dropped — but the stigma persists within England’s setup.
While Greenwood remains active for Marseille at club level and produces strong performances, the shift towards Jamaica signals a likely end to any realistic comeback for England.
It remains unclear when exactly Jamaica might call him up, but the Times report suggests that a declaration is imminent — and with it, a definitive turn away from England’s future squads.
