MLS Caribbean Combine
The Major League Soccer Caribbean Combine is an annual showcase of Caribbean football talent between the ages of 18-21 organized jointly by Major League Soccer and the Caribbean Football Union in 2013, with the inaugural combine being held in January 2014. All 31 member associations are encouraged to send representatives that fit the criteria. The combine provides opportunities for Caribbean players to be observed by MLS scouts with the hopes of being invited to the MLS Combine, an invite-only showcase event held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida prior to the annual MLS SuperDraft. The combine is part of an agreement between the two entities as they try to promote football development throughout the Caribbean region. About the impact of Caribbean players on the league, MLS Technical Director Alfonso Mondelo said, "Quite a few players have played, continue to play in the MLS and have done so successfully...Now we are looking forward to the next generation of players who will be coming in", while MLS Executive Vice President Todd Durbin said, “We recognize that the CONCACAF area, and particularly the Caribbean, is rich with soccer talent, and this will be an opportunity for our scouts to evaluate and identify the region’s top players...Caribbean players from islands like Jamaica, Haiti, Grenada and others have been key performers in MLS. This event will help recognize the next generation of MLS stars as we look to achieve our goal of being among the best leagues in the world by 2022.” From a Caribbean perspective, CFU President Gordon Derrick stated, “As CFU Member Associations turn their attention to Russia 2018, this is an exciting developmental opportunity for the opulent young talent in the Caribbean to assess their developmental level and the growth required to play at the highest level...This partnership with MLS is another way in which we at the CFU are seeking to bridge the gap that exists between talent availability and scouting opportunities that the Caribbean region has received from professional leagues.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.concacaf.com/article/cfu-mls-ink-partnership-agreement )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://pressbox.mlssoccer.com/content/major-league-soccer-partners-caribbean-football-union-host-first-ever-caribbean-player )〕

The 2014 Caribbean Combine took place at the Antigua Recreation Ground in St. John’s, Antigua from January 2–4; and featured 24 players from 16 different Caribbean nations. Originally 32 players were nominated but eight were not invited to the final combine by the MLS technical team. The Trinidad and Tobago Football Association did not have any representatives at the combine after an "administrative error" lead to no paperwork being submitted to the CFU by the association. Of the 23 players who were invited, only Stefano Rijssel and Quinton Christina were invited to the MLS Combine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://antiguafootball.com/news/historic-cfu-mls-combine-comes-to-an-end/ )〕 Rijssel went on to be the first ever player from the Caribbean Combine to be drafted after he was selected in the 3rd round, 55th overall, by Seattle Sounders FC.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mlssoccer.com/superdraft/2014/news/article/2014/01/21/superdraft-caribbean-combine-star-stefano-rijssel-highlights-picks-rounds-3- )〕 However, Rijssel was cut by the team during preseason and was ultimately not signed.
