The Jamaican club also finished top of their group (Group A), with three wins and a loss. 

The two losing Semifinalists, Real Hope FA (HAI) and Moca FC (DOM), have moved on to a Third-Place series to determine the third Caribbean club to participate in the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup. These matches are scheduled for November 26 (first leg) and December 3 (second leg) in the Dominican Republic.
