Bad Friday for Haitian football, the Confederation of North America, Central America and the Caribbean (CONCACAF) announced on April 21, 2023, that Haitian football clubs were excluded from all competitions that Concacaf will organize for the 2023-2024 season (Caribbean Cup ex Concacaf Caribbean Club Championship, Concacaf League and CFU Championship...)

In an official note on the CONCACAF website it is written :

"Note on the situation regarding Haitian Clubs: The Concacaf Council ratified the decision that Haitian clubs will not be able to participate in the upcoming Concacaf Club Competitions (2023/24).

This unfortunate decision had to be taken in view that the Haitian league [The Organizing Committee of the Haitian Professional Football Championship (COCHAFOP)] did not commence any football activities in 2022 and has not yet resumed play, therefore, no teams have been able to qualify (in addition to other club licensing requirements).

As a result, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica have been awarded an additional berth in the competition (based on the performance of clubs in the past five editions)."
