1961 Campeonato Centroamericano y Caribe

The 1961 Campeonato Centroamericano was the second edition of the first attempt in an international tournament for the CONCACAF region. All teams that participated were champions of their respective leagues.[1] The tournament was composed of Central American and Caribbean clubs with four from Central America and one from Caribbean. Unlike the 1959 edition, the 1961 edition did not involve North American clubs but instead the Central American champion from the four-team playoff would face off against the Caribbean club.
