Caribbean Cup Kickoff: Champions Robinhood Face Jamaican Hopefuls Mount Pleasant

KINGSTON, Jamaica – The road to continental glory begins Tuesday night here at the National Stadium, as the 2025 Concacaf Caribbean Cup ignites with a tantalizing Group A clash between Jamaica’s Mount Pleasant FA and Suriname’s storied SV Robinhood.

The matchup pits a hungry domestic champion against the reigning Caribbean kings, setting the stage for a compelling opening night.

For Mount Pleasant, this marks a crucial second act. After a group-stage exit in their 2024 debut, the Jamaican outfit is eager to prove it belongs among the region’s elite.

They will look to attacking talents Jahshaun Anglin and Kimoni Bailey, who share one goal apiece in the competition.

Standing in their way, however, is a formidable and experienced opponent, SV Robinhood, who returns to the tournament they conquered in its inaugural 2023 season.

The Surinamese powerhouse completed a historic double that year, adding the Caribbean Cup to their Caribbean Club Shield title after a dramatic victory over Jamaica’s Cavalier FC in the final.

Their attack is spearheaded by Shaquille Cairo, the tournament’s all-time leading scorer with an impressive five goals.

History adds an intriguing layer to this first-ever meeting between the two clubs. Mount Pleasant will test itself against Surinamese opposition for the very first time.

Robinhood, in contrast, brings a wealth of experience against Jamaican teams, holding a strong record of three wins against just one loss in their four previous encounters.
