The CONCACAF Caribbean Shield, also known as the CONCACAF Caribbean Club Shield, is an annual Caribbean football competition for clubs that are members of the Caribbean Football Union (CFU). It is a second-tier competition to the CONCACAF Caribbean Cup (and formerly the Caribbean Club Championship), introduced in 2018 for clubs which worked towards professional standards. [1] It is organized by CONCACAF.

Contents

Until 2022, the winner of this competition, as long as it fulfilled the licensing criteria, played against the fourth-placed team of the Caribbean Club Championship for a place in the CONCACAF League. As of 2023, the winner and runner-up qualify for the CONCACAF Caribbean Cup. [2]

History

On 25 July 2017 in San Francisco, California, CONCACAF council approved the implementation of a two-tier competition for affiliated clubs of Caribbean member associations, starting in 2018. The tier-one competition, known as the Caribbean Club Championship, would be contested by the champions and runners-up of the top professional and semi-professional leagues in year one, and open to only fully professional leagues in year two onwards. The tier-two competition, known as the Caribbean Club Shield, would be contested by the champions of the leagues that had no professional teams in year one (2018), opened to semi-professional standards in year two (2019) and planned to be open to fully professional leagues by 2022.[ citation needed ]

In 2023, both tournaments will be restructured and renamed. The winner and runner-up of the second-tier Caribbean Shield will now qualify for the first-tier CONCACAF Caribbean Cup to be held later in the same month. [3]
