DRAW PROCEDURES AND POTS 
 
On June 3, Concacaf will conduct the draw for the 2025 Concacaf Caribbean Cup Group Stage. The draw will be executed using a single-blind system involving five pots. The 10 participating clubs have been distributed into five pots according to their Concacaf Club Ranking as of June 2, 2025, as follows: 
 
Pot 1 (two highest-ranked clubs): Cibao FC, Mount Pleasant FA
Pot 2 (two next highest-ranked clubs): Cavalier FC, SV Robinhood 
Pot 3 (two next highest-ranked clubs): Defence Force FC, O&M FC
Pot 4 (two lowest-ranked): Juventus de Cayes, Central FC
Pot 5: Champion and Runner-up of the 2025 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 then be drawn, and the club will be placed in Group B, position B1. This process will be replicated for Pots 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.
