Digicel, proud sponsors of Caribbean Football, officially launched the Digicel Caribbean Championships 2008 at a press conference in Curacao, yesterday. 


 
Fixtures for the upcoming tournament, which promises to be even bigger and better than last DCC, were unveiled - as well as an announcement by the CFU of a change to the name of the tournament. Previously known as the Digicel Caribbean Cup, the newly named Digicel Caribbean Championships reflects more appropriately the magnitude and size of the tournament in line with other World football tournaments.


 
The Digicel Caribbean Championships kicks off in Curacao on 27 July with the Netherlands Antilles, Grenada and Dominica making up Group A. The tournament will run over a five-month period, culminating in what is sure to be another exciting final in Jamaica in December.


 
Digicel announced its initial four year sponsorship of the Digicel Caribbean Cup in May 2004 and in June 2007, extended its contract until 2011. Digicel is committed to supporting the development of football across the region through its various initiatives such as; sponsorship of 14 Football Federations and Football Associations; Digicel Kickstart Football Clinics and Digicel International matches, to name but a few.
