The Campeonato Centroamericano was the first attempt for an international tournament for the CONCACAF region.[1]
History
The first tournament was held in 1959 with team from North (1) and Central America (3). There was no tournament held in 1960 but continued for its second edition in 1961. In 1961, the tournament was renamed to Campeónato Centroamericano y Caribe since the tournament was held between clubs from Central America (3) and a club from the Caribbean. This was the last edition as the following year in 1962 the CONCACAF Champions' Cup began. The Campeonato Centroamericano served as an unofficial forerunner to the international tournament between CONCACAF clubs eventually leading to the current CONCACAF Champions League.
