The Cibao Football Club is currently in Trinidad competing in the second phase of CONCACAF elimination tournament. This is the first time a Dominican football team (soccer) has reached the second stage of eliminations. More than 40 years ago the UCMM FC, the amateur national champions based at what is today the PUCMM, participated for the first time in the first round of the CONCACAF eliminations in Surinam.
On Tuesday, 16 May 2017, the Cibao FC fought to a 2-2 tie with Grenade FC from Antigua and Barbuda, in spite of dominating most of the game. According to reports in 7 Dias, the Dominican side missed a half a dozen opportunities to open the score during the first half which ended at 0-0. In the second half the team from the Cibao took a 2-0 advantage only to see it disappear in the final minutes with a fine play by Stefan Smith. The games are being broadcast by CDN and are available on YouTube by Cibao FC. The next match is this afternoon against Central FC from Trinidad.
