Vancouver Whitecaps FC open the 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League on Tuesday against Trinidad and Tobago’s Central FC (5 p.m. PT at Ato Boldon Stadium).
So who are these guys anyway? Here are five things you need to know.
1. Central FC have quickly established themselves as one of the best teams – if not the best – in Trinidad and Tobago. The club, which was only founded in 2012, have now won back-to-back TT Pro League titles, which is the top division in Trinidad and Tobago, as well as back-to-back Caribbean Football Union Club Championships. This is Central FC’s second straight appearance in the CCL.
