Cuban clubs in the CONCACAF Championship

[Luis_Rancagua]

Guys, I am wondering as to why the island of Cuba does not participate in the CONCACAF Club Championship. Cuba has a semi-pro league called the "Campeonato Nacional de Fútbol". The league has 16 teams. The top team in Cuba right now is FC Cienfuegos who participated in the last Caribbean Football Union/CFU competition. The most notable teams in Cuba are FC Villa Clara and DC Gallego.

The top three from the 2007 CFU competition qualified. Pinar del Rio participated from Cuba, but did not advance from their preliminary round group.
