# 2000 CFU Club Championship

The 2000 Caribbean Football Union Club Championship was an international club football competition held in the Caribbean to determine the region's qualifiers to the CONCACAF Champions' Cup. The winners Joe Public F.C. advanced to CONCACAF Champions' Cup 2000.

## History

Originally a final tournament with 8 teams was planned, with as participants:
* Joe Public FC ( Trinidad and Tobago, holders)

* Camdonia Chelsea FC ( Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, 1999 St.Vincent club champion)
* Club Franciscain ( Martinique, 1998/99 Ligue de Football de *Martinique champion)
* Defence Force ( Trinidad and Tobago, 1999 PFL champion)
* Notre Dame SC ( Barbados, 1999 Premier League champion)
* W Connection ( Trinidad and Tobago, PFL sub-champion)
* Violette AC ( Haiti - replace champions Guadeloupe)
This was to be held October 28 – November 5, 2000.
However, in preparation of a 'dramatically enhanced' CONCACAF club competition, the set-up was changed completely; 4 groups with 14 teams in all were formed; the winners of which to progress to the final championship round. Of the above 8 teams, 3, viz. Chelsea, Notre Dame, and Defence Force, were suddenly not invited - on whatever criteria.
