DRAW PROCEDURES

On June 6, Concacaf will conduct the draw for the 2024 Concacaf Caribbean Cup Group Stage. The draw will be executed using a single-blind system involving five pots. 

The 10 participating clubs will be distributed into five pots according to their Concacaf Club Ranking as of June 3, 2024. The five pots will be as follows: 

Pot 1: Two highest-ranked clubs 
Pot 2: Two next highest-ranked clubs 
Pot 3: Two next highest-ranked clubs 
Pot 4: Two next highest-ranked clubs 
Pot 5: Champion and Runner-up of the 2024 CFU Club Shield 

The draw will begin by randomly selecting a sphere from Pot 1 and placing that club in Group A, position A1. The second sphere will be then drawn, and the club will be placed in Group B, position B1. This process will be replicated for Pot 2-5, placing clubs in sequential order in Groups A and B.

At the end of the draw, each group will contain one club from each pot.

Concacaf will publish the confirmed Pots in the days ahead of the official draw.
