Caribbean Football Union

The Caribbean Football Union (CFU) is a regional governing body for football in the Caribbean, comprising numerous island nations and some mainland territories. It operates under the umbrella of CONCACAF, the continental confederation for North, Central America, and the Caribbean. Recently, the CFU has been in the news indirectly due to a CONCACAF request for FIFA President Gianni Infantino to skip a youth tournament in the Dominican Republic. CONCACAF President Victor Montagliani reportedly asked Infantino to avoid the event to prevent his presence from overshadowing the tournament amidst ongoing FIFA governance issues and opposition to his leadership. While the CFU itself is not the direct subject of the FIFA controversy, its hosting of youth events places it at the center of these significant developments within the broader football world. The situation highlights the CFU's role in regional football development and its connection to major international football politics.
