The daughter of reggae legend Bob Marley is something of a “fairy godmother” for the Jamaica team playing in its second Women's World Cup.

Cedella Marley has been a tireless advocate and fundraiser for the team, nicknamed the "Reggae Girlz," and helped rescue the team after it was disbanded in 2008.

Her work has paid of and Jamaica is in the Round of 16. The Reggae Girlz play Colombia on Tuesday night in Melbourne, Australia.
