The former Cardinal will represent Jamaica in the international competition beginning July 4.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of Louisville women's soccer program will have international representation in the upcoming 2022 Concacaf W Championship in Mexico as former Cardinal Chinyelu Asher will compete for Jamaica.
Asher, who started all 18 matches for the Cardinals in 2014, currently plays professionally with AIK in Sweden. She made her international debut with the Jamaican national team in 2015 and has tallied six goals in international competition.
Jamaica is one of eight nations in the group stage that will kick off on July 4 and run through July 11.
Jamaica opens play against Mexico on July 4, before squaring off with the United States on July 7 and wrapping up group play July 11 against Haiti.
At the end of round robin play, the top two teams from each group will move on to the semifinals and in doing so, qualify directly to the 2023 FWWC (four teams). Meanwhile, the third placed teams in each group will qualify for a 2023 FWWC Intercontinental Playoff (two teams).
The semifinals on July 14, and the final and third-place match on July 18, will be played in a single elimination format, with the Champion qualifying for both the 2024 Paris Olympics and the inaugural Concacaf W Gold Cup (CWGC), to be held in 2024.
The runner-up and third-place teams will also square off in a Concacaf Olympic play-in series, scheduled for September 2023. The winner of that play-in series will also qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics and the 2024 CWGC.
