Miami, FL – Concacaf has announced that the 2021 edition of the Flow Concacaf Caribbean Club Championship (FCCCC) will be expanded to include clubs from the 2021 Concacaf Caribbean Club Shield (CCCS).
Following the cancelation of the 2021 CCCS (due to challenges associated with the Covid-19 Pandemic) the Concacaf Council has approved a new format for the 2021 FCCCC. The revamped competition will now include a number of the clubs originally set to participate in both the 2021 CCCS and FCCCC.
The two round competition will take place in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, from May 15-25, and will feature a total of 15 clubs from 13 Concacaf Caribbean Member Associations.
