Harbour View, who made it to the semi-finals of last season’s JPL, will be competing in the championships for the first time since 2014. In fact, Harbour View remain the only Jamaican club to have won the championships, having done so in 2006 and 2008.
Bernard added that Harbour View are happy to be competing in the competition this year because this is a huge opportunity for the club to showcase its talent as matches will be broadcast to broad audiences, in particular the Americas.
“It is very important because this is an opportunity for the club to re-established itself within the region, mainly in the Caribbean and Central and North America,” said Bernard.
“Back in the 2000s we were very prominent in the respective competitions, but then there was a fall off, so we are hoping that our venture into the competition this season will spark our return and to put Harbour View football club back on the international scene,” he said.
“It is a very good opportunity for the players to showcase themselves to scouts, coaches, and other clubs will have an opportunity to observe and identify talents. We are hoping that the players can really put a good showing in everything so that they can attract interest in overseas markets,” Bernard ended.
