Well the CFU Cup Championship is the Carribean Qualifiers for the CONCACAF CHAMPIONS Cup, equal to the UEFA Champions League. Now the US is allowed to send two teams MLS Supporters Shield Winner and the MLS Champion. Now the Islanders wanted to play the US Open Cup, but they where not allowed because the team isnt afilieted with the USA Federation, meaning that they couldn't play in any tournament outside the USL in the US.
But the team found a loophole, because they where sign into the FPF (Puerto Rican Soccer fed) and not the USA Fed, they could technically be sent to represent Puerto Rico in the CFUCC, up till now PR have not sent any teams to the competition. Now the CFUCC Champions is then allowed to participate in the CCC as the Carribean representative team. So the Islander's management have called all the players up to reconven on October 15 to begin traning for the CFUCC.
In the CFUCC they would face teams from Antigua, Dominica, and all does other islands. But more importantly they will face teams from Jamaica, T&T and Suriname who dominate this competition, now the current champion Portmore United played a gaim against Miami FC and lost, wi have manage to beat Miami in several ocasion so there is a good chance that we can make it to the championship. Teams form the lesser antilles should not be alot of a challenge to the islanders sence they have already beaten several during pre-season friendlies, but we need to be carefull of does t&t and jamaican teams because they will be the once that will give us more trouble.
