In recent days, there have been media reports regarding the resignation of Mr. Yoni Epstein and Mr. Peter Gould from the Finance Committee. PFJL wishes to assure all stakeholders that these resignations from committee roles in no way affect the smooth and effective operation of the Company. Both Mr. Epstein and Mr. Gould, in their capacity as club owners, remain active members of the PFJL Board of Directors and continue to play an integral role in the governance and strategic leadership of the organisation.

Additionally, PFJL notes with concern commentary questioning the Company’s financial position. We wish to categorically state that any suggestion regarding the insolvency of PFJL is entirely false. At our most recent Board meeting, the Finance Committee reported that the Company’s cash receivables exceed aged payables by a ratio of approximately 2:1. The primary challenge currently being experienced relates to the timing of collections from partners—an issue reflective of broader economic pressures following the impact of Hurricane Melissa.

We have maintained close and continuous engagement with our partners, all of whom have reaffirmed their commitments and provided assurances regarding the settlement of outstanding obligations.

Interim Chairman, Donovan White, stated: “PFJL remains on a strong and stable footing. The recent committee changes are part of normal governance processes and do not disrupt the strategic direction or operational execution of the organisation. Our focus remains on delivering a high- quality product, strengthening our partnerships, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of professional football in Jamaica.”

CEO, Owen Hill, added: “The League is navigating some challenging operating environment in recent months, with broader economic conditions impacting our footballing delivery. That said, we have taken a measured and proactive approach to managing these dynamics; the League remains confident in the fulfilment of all outstanding commitments. Importantly, as the League move into the playoff period, our attention is firmly on delivering a high-quality experience that reinforces the strength and future potential of the Jamaica Premier League.”

PFJL also takes this opportunity to commend the resilience, dedication, and professionalism of our member clubs. Despite the challenges faced in the aftermath of last October’s hurricane, clubs have demonstrated remarkable commitment—ensuring continuity of operations and the successful fulfilment of all scheduled fixtures.

As we conclude the third round of the 2025–2026 Jamaica Premier League season and look ahead to the highly anticipated Championship Playoffs, we encourage all Jamaicans to rally behind their clubs. Wear your colours with pride and come out to support your teams as we celebrate the very best of local football.

PFJL remains steadfast in its commitment to the growth, integrity, and sustainability of professional football in Jamaica.
