The Cibao Football Club won the second phase of the Caribbean Clubs Championship, a Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) elimination tournament. This is the most important clubs football tournament carried out in the Caribbean.
Richard Dabas, from Moca, delivered the winning goal for the Dominican team to win 1-0.
The Cibao Football Club won the tournament by defeating San Juan Jabloteh of Trinidad in the final, becoming the first team from the Dominican Republic to be crowned Caribbean club champions and the first to qualify for the Champions League.
It was the first time a Dominican football team (soccer) had 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.
