Second round
In the second round, only the group winners advance to the final round.
After the completion of the first round, the following changes to the second round have been made:
- Alpha United traded places with Leo Victor, allowing the matches to be staged as schedule by avoiding travel delays due to U.S. restrictions for the Guyanese club.[6]
- The matches in Group E and Group F were postponed due to delays by Haitian clubs Tempete FC and Racing Gonaives in obtaining U.S. visas to travel to Puerto Rico.[7]
- The matches in Group G and Group H were postponed due to stadium availability and were scheduled to begin a day later than previously announced.[8]
- Leo Victor withdrew from Group E for financial reasons, and Tempête was forced to withdraw from Group F following difficulties in obtaining visas to Puerto Rico.[9] Therefore both Group E and F would be played as two-team groups.
