If a Dominican club wins the Concacaf Champions Cup the team will be able to distribute US$810,000 to players and staff, Diario Libre reports. In his analysis of the regional soccer league changes, sportswriter Nathanael Perez Nero compares what the soccer players will receive to the earnings of the regional baseball league. The winner of the Caribbean Series in baseball gets RD$180,000 for winning plus US$220,000 for participating.
The Concacaf League of Champions has just improved the awards. Just to participate in the tournament that will gather the best 10 clubs of the Caribbean from August to December, each team will receive US$160,000. Before, the teams got US$15,000.
Concacaf is the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (Concacaf). It is one of FIFA’s six continental confederations, servicing 41 member associations, from Canada in the north to Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana in the south.
Concacaf brings football closer to people across the region through competitions, including the Concacaf Nations League and the biennial Gold Cup for national teams, and club tournaments, including the Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League, the Scotiabank Concacaf League, the Caribbean Club Championship and the Caribbean Shield.
The Confederation organizes championships at the under-13, under-15, under-17, under-20 and Olympic Championship levels for girls and boys, women and men. Concacaf also supports FIFA in coordinating qualifying for Men’s and Women’s World Cups and Olympic Games and the Beach Soccer and Futsal World Cups.
As a primary driver of the game’s growth in followers, Concacaf provides consistent and on-going professional football and technical development support to its 41 member associations, including the Dominican Republic.
