The 2021 Caribbean Club Championship (officially the 2021 Flow CONCACAF Caribbean Club Championship for sponsorship reasons) was the 23rd edition of the Caribbean Club Championship (also known as the CFU Club Championship), the first-tier annual international club football competition in the Caribbean region, held amongst clubs whose football associations are affiliated with the Caribbean Football Union (CFU), a sub-confederation of CONCACAF.

Contents

The tournament was played in the Dominican Republic between 15 and 25 May 2021. As a result of the cancellation of the 2021 CONCACAF Caribbean Club Shield due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 CONCACAF Caribbean Club Championship was expanded to include a number of teams originally set to participate in the 2021 CONCACAF Caribbean Club Shield. [1]

The winners of the 2021 CONCACAF Caribbean Club Championship qualified to the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League, and the second, third and fourth place teams qualified to the 2021 CONCACAF League, as long as they comply with the minimum CONCACAF Club Licensing requirements for the CONCACAF Champions League or CONCACAF League. [2]

Portmore United, having won the title in 2019, are the title holders. The 2020 edition was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the title was not awarded. [3]

Notes
  1. ^
    Haiti (HAI): The Série de Clôture of the 2019 Ligue Haïtienne season was abandoned due to the Haitian protests, and the Série d'Ouverture of the 2020 Ligue Haïtienne season was abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Haiti. The teams which represented the Haitian Football Federation in the 2021 Caribbean Club Championship were Cavaly and Don Bosco, the 2019 Série de Clôture and 2020 Série d'Ouverture aggregate table best two teams. [7] Initially the Haitian Football Federation selected Capoise, the 2019 aggregate table leaders at the time of suspension, and Baltimore, the 2020 Série d'Ouverture leaders at the time of suspension, as their representatives, but this was rejected by CONCACAF. [8] [9]
  2. ^
    Jamaica (JAM): The 2019–20 National Premier League was abandoned by the Jamaica Football Federation due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Jamaica. The season was declared null and void, and no champions were declared. [10] The teams which would originally represent the Jamaica Football Federation in the 2021 Caribbean Club Championship were Portmore United and Waterhouse, the 2018–19 National Premier League champions and runners-up, but they later withdrew from the tournament. [11]
  3. ^
    Trinidad and Tobago (TRI): The 2019–20 TT Pro League was abandoned by the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Trinidad and Tobago. Defence Force, which were the leaders at the time of abandonment, were declared champions, and La Horquetta Rangers finished as runners-up, [12] but they did not enter the tournament.

Venues

The matches were played at the Estadio Olímpico Félix Sánchez in Santo Domingo and Estadio Panamericano in San Cristóbal. [1]

Original format

Before the expansion of the tournament, the 2021 CONCACAF Caribbean Club Championship would originally be played at the Félix Sánchez Olympic Stadium in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, between 14 and 26 May 2021, and six teams from three associations entered. The original draw for the group stage was held on 25 February 2021, 11:00 EST (UTC−5), at the CONCACAF Headquarters in Miami, United States. [13] The six teams were drawn into two groups of three. The two teams from hosts Dominican Republic were placed in Pot 1, the two teams from Haiti were placed in Pot 2, while the two teams from Jamaica were placed in Pot 3. [14] This ensured that teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same group.

Pot 1 (hosts)Pot 2Pot 3

The original draw results and schedule were as follows: [15]

Group stage

After the expansion of the tournament, the new draw for the group stage was held on 23 April 2021, 11:00 EDT (UTC−4), at the CONCACAF Headquarters in Miami, United States. [16] The 15 teams were drawn into four groups: three groups of four teams (Groups A–C) and one group of three teams (Group D). The four teams from the Dominican Republic and Haiti were placed in Pot 1 and drawn to position 1 of the four groups. The 11 teams originally set to participate in the 2021 CONCACAF Caribbean Club Shield were placed in Pot 2 and drawn to positions 2, 3 and 4 of the four groups. [17] This ensured that teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same group.

Pot 1Pot 2

After the draw was made, Hope International (Saint Vincent and the Grenadines) were added to Group D, and each group would have four teams. [18] Later, Racing Club Aruba (Aruba) and Platinum FC (Saint Lucia) withdrew, and there were only two teams left in Group B. To ensure that each group had a minimum of three teams, a draw was held on 13 May 2021 to relocate a team from Group A to Group B, and Metropolitan (Puerto Rico) were moved. South East (Dominica) also withdrew, so eventually there were three teams in Groups A–C, and four teams in Group D. [6]

The winners of each group advanced to the semi-finals.
