After years of representing Jamaica on the international stage and playing professionally across the globe, Marlo Sweatman says she’s at peace with her decision to retire from football. At just 30 years old, the former Reggae Girl recently confirmed what many had already suspected—that she has stepped away from the game for good.
Reggae Girl Marlo Sweatman is taking significant strides towards a career in sports management following her recent enrollment in the MSc International Sports Management program at the Global Institute of Sports (GIS) as an Elite Athlete Scholar. This latest achievement follows her successful completion of the UEFA Elite Scout Programme in December 2023, marking a seamless transition from professional football into a leadership role in the sport.
Former Reggae Girl Marlo Sweatman has wrapped up her latest visit to Jamaica—this time not as a player, but as a scholar and aspiring football executive. The midfielder-turned-administrator was on the island as part of the Global Institute of Sport (GIS) Master’s programme in International Sports Management and was stationed at Mount Pleasant Football Academy in St Ann for a period of practical immersion.
