CONCACAF Champions' Cup 1973

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The CONCACAF Champions' Cup 1973 was the 9th edition of the annual international club football competition held in the CONCACAF region (North America, Central America and the Caribbean), the CONCACAF Champions' Cup. It determined that year's club champion of association football in the CONCACAF region.

The tournament was played by 16 teams of 9 countries from 1 June till 3 August of 1973 with the matches in the tournament played under the home/away match

The teams were splited in 3 zones (North American, Central American and Caribbean), each one qualifying the winner to the final tournament. As no clubs entered in the North American section, the winner of the two remaining zones gained the qualification to the final. That final never happen because both Central American teams withdrew and didn't play their zone final.

So the Caribbean winner, SV Transvaal from Suriname won the tournament, and became for the first time CONCACAF champion.
