MIAMI – The 2025 Concacaf Caribbean Cup continues with Central FC hosting Moca FC in Group A on Tuesday at Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.

It will be the first meeting ever between the two clubs. Both are seeking points to climb the standings.

Central FC is coming off a 2-2 draw at SV Robinhood, while Moca FC suffered a 2-nil home defeat to Mount Pleasant FA.
