Currently the CONCAF Champions League consists out of 24 teams (9 from North America, 3 from the Caribbean and 12 from Central America).

As Saint Vincent and the Grenadines belongs to the Caribbean, their clubs fight for one or more of the 3 open spots every year. The spots for the C.L. get allocated during the CFU Club Championship. This championship is a tournament organised since 1997 by the Caribbean football union (FCU).

So far not a single club from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines was able to finish within the first 3 spots of this tournament since then. Realistically only Avenues United has a small chance to ever qualify for the C.L.

The next CFU Club Championship is played from March till May 2012. We will keep you updated if any Saint Vincent and the Grenadines teams are participating.

Maybe we can shout them to the Champions league together, for the first time ever.............wouldn't that be great?

7 Forward Wendell Cuffy 10/08/1989 (18 Caps) (2 Goals) Pyola

Wendell was a key player during the World Cup 2014 Qualifiers. He is the only player to represent Pyola in the national squad. His recent peformances attracted some interest from bigger teams, but so far no official offer came for the Pyola forward. It is said that Avenues United FC and some top teams out Trinidad and Tobago are fighting for his signature.

8 Forward Romano Snagg 10/04/1988 (9 Caps) (2 Goals) Avenues United FC

 Due to the wealth SVG already has in forwards, Romano is considered a back-up for the current squad. 

9 Forward Myron Samuel 19/12/1992 (18 Caps) (2 Goals) Avenues United FC

Myron is one of the youngest players to play and score for SVG. He also playes for the U-20 international squad, while playing for the senior squad. He recently tested for American Team Seattle Sounders, but didn't get signed.

He has a big future ahead of him, with already 18 Caps for the national team at the age of 18. 

He scored 2 goals during the World Cup Qualifiers 2014.

10 Forward Shandel Samuel (Vice-Captain) 14/12/1982 (87 Caps) (38 Goals) Ma Pau SC

Together with Cornelius Huggings, Shandel is the backbone and the star of the team. At the age of 28 he already scored 38 goals in 87 matches for the national team. He plays in the Trinidad and Tobago Pro league and is one of the few players playing outside of SVG.

Shandel would be a good signing for teams like KV Kortrijk, GBA, OH Leuven, Lierse, STVV and Westerlo in Belgium.

19 Forward Cornelius Stewart 01/10/1989 (16 Caps) (4 Goals) Vancouver Whitecaps FC

Cornelius attended Kingstown Anglican Primary School and Intermediate High School and began his career in 2001 with the youth soccer team System 3 FC on his home island of Saint Vincent. He moved to Newwill Hope International FC of the SVG national League Championship in 2007, and played for them throughout the 2007-2008 season, before moving to Canada in 2009 when he joined the Vancouver Whitecaps Residency Programme. He was promoted to the Seniro team in 2010, and will continue for the 2011 Major League Soccer Season. 

It is the biggest career a SVG player made so far. He also scored 2 goals during the W.C. 2014 qualfiers.
