1993 Caribbean Cup

The 1993 Caribbean Cup, known as the Shell Caribbean Cup for sponsorship reasons, was the 11th international association football championship for members of the Caribbean Football Union (CFU). It was the fifth edition of the Caribbean Cup which replaced the CFU Championship. Hosted by Jamaica, the competition ran from 21–30 June 1993 and was contested by the national teams of Jamaica, Martinique, Puerto Rico, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Sint Maarten and Trinidad and Tobago. The competition was used as part of the qualification process for the 1993 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Background

edit

The Caribbean Football Union (CFU) was founded in January 1978 as a sub-confederation of the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF).[1] Later the same year, the first CFU Championship was organised in Trinidad and Tobago. The competition was held semi-regularly until the final edition in 1988. From 1989, it was replaced by the Caribbean Cup.[2]

The tournament was sponsored by Royal Dutch Shell following the input of employees of Shell Antilles and Gulanas Ltd.[3]

Trinidad and Tobago were the defending champions after winning the previous edition as hosts.[4] Trinidad and Tobago were also the most successful team in the history of the competition after winning the trophy on two previous occasions.[2]

Format

edit

A qualifying tournament was held to determine six of the eight teams that would participate in the final tournament. Hosts Jamaica and holders Trinidad and Tobago qualified automatically. The 20 competing teams were drawn into six groups of three or four teams. Each group was played as a single round-robin where each team would play all of the others once. The winner of each group would qualify for the final tournament.[5]

For the final tournament, the eight teams were drawn into two groups of four teams. Each group was played as a single round-robin where each team would play all of the others once. The winners and runners-up of each group would contest the semi-finals with the winners advancing to the final and the losers contesting the third-place play-off. The two finalists would qualify for the 1993 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[5]
