Mount Pleasant FA has advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2026 Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Club Shield without playing a match. Their scheduled first-round opponent, All Saints United of Antigua and Barbuda, withdrew from the tournament, granting Mount Pleasant a bye.
The Jamaican club, which is participating in the CFU competition for the first time, is the reigning Concacaf Caribbean Cup champion. They also finished third in the Jamaica Premier League.
Mount Pleasant will now await the outcome of the match between Weymouth Wales of Barbados and SV Britannia of Aruba. The winner of that fixture will face Mount Pleasant in the quarterfinals, scheduled for Tuesday.
Finalists in the CFU Club Shield competition earn a spot in the Concacaf Caribbean Cup, where they will join Jamaica's Portmore United and Cavalier SC, the finalists from the Jamaica Premier League.
