CONCACAF announces details for 2021 CONCACAF Caribbean Club Competitions!

CONCACAF has announced that the 2021 Flow CONCACAF Caribbean Club Championship (FCCCC) will take place in the Dominican Republic, from May 14-26 and the 2021 CONCACAF Caribbean Club Shield (CCCS) will be played in Curacao, between April 23 and May 2.

The two Caribbean club competitions, for professional and amateur clubs respectively, are part of the Confederation’s club platform that qualifies teams to the Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League (SCCL) and Scotiabank CONCACAF League (SCL).

In total, four Caribbean clubs will advance to Confederation wide club competitions, three for the 2021 Scotiabank CONCACAF League and one for the 2022 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League.

“Club football in the Caribbean is a priority for CONCACAF and I would like to express our gratitude to the federations in the Dominican Republic and Curacao for their commitment to hosting these important competitions,” said CONCACAF General Secretary, Philippe Moggio. “Both the Flow CONCACAF Caribbean Club Championship and the CONCACAF Caribbean Club Shield allow for great competition between clubs in the Caribbean region and we are very much looking forward to delivering them in April and May,” added Moggio.

More details for each of the competitions are available below.
