History

Puerto Rico made its first appearance on the 1974 CONCACAF Championship, losing all of their matches. They didn't record a win until 1976 against Barbados. It wasn't until 2012 where they had their most successful campaign under coach Jeaustin Campos where they advance through all of the Caribbean qualification and made it to the CONCACAF Championship in Puebla, México. [1]

In 2021, Puerto Rico booked their place on the 2022 CONCACAF U-20 Championship for their second time in history, this time under coach Dave Sarachan after advancing as group leaders defeating Bermuda 6–0 on final matchday. [2]
