Welcome to The Home of Caribbean Football‘s coverage of the 2017 Caribbean Cup! For those of you who are unaware of this tournament’s existence/purpose, it serves as the Caribbean qualifying process for the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Seven countries did not enter into this year’s edition: Cayman Islands, Montserrat, Turks & Caicos Islands, St Lucia, Bonaire, the Bahamas and St Martin. Therefore a total of 24/31 CFU members entered.
St Vincent & the Grenadines appear in Round 2 (June), while Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago and Haiti appear in Round 3 (October). The 5th place playoff will take place in November and the tournament finals will take place in Martinique in June 2017.
