Participation of non-top flight clubs in CONCACAF club competitions
The CONCACAF club competitions are tournaments in which clubs affiliated with CONCACAF can participate, including clubs from non-top-flight leagues across North America, Central America and the Caribbean. This is a list of non-top-flight clubs that played a match in a CONCACAF club competition.
Clubs are listed when they played at least one CONCACAF match while competing below the highest tier of their domestic league system. Clubs representing an association while playing in the league system of another association are classified according to the level at which they competed in that league system. Amateur and regional clubs from the United States are listed separately where they participated outside the country's national professional leagues. Clubs that qualified or were entered but withdrew without playing a match are not included.
